We have a problem with restoring the backup data. Backups are made with rdiff-backup. The last backup did not go well so we want to restore a day or 2 days or 7 days back but when we do that we get the following message:
A regular file was indicated by the metadata, but could not be
constructed from existing increments because last increment had type
None. Instead of the actual file's data, an empty length file will be
created. This error is probably caused by data loss in the
rdiff-backup destination directory, or a bug in rdiff-backup
Who has experience with this? We feel that the data is there, is this fixable?
