rdiff-backup: skip regressing
I am using rdiff-backup for my backups; now, my last backup failed. However, regressing does not work (it regresses all files and then stops doing anything); since I know that all files have been regressed but the backup hasn't been marked as regressed, I would like to just skip the process and do my next backup. However, I don't know how to tell it to do that; I have tried to remove the current_mirror file or change its content, but it still knows that the last backup failed. Is there any way to achieve this without doing the backup to a completely new directory?
