Re: [rdiff-backup-users] Question about reorganizing directory structure

[Errol Siegel]

Thanks very much for your response.  I think you
misunderstood the question (or I misunderstood the

The backup repository is not moving.  The files that
are being backed up are being moved.

Does this make sense?  Does this change the answer?

Thanks again,
Errol
