the --force option doesn't seem to work for me, even when trying to
restore a single file.
% mkdir /tmp/restore
% rdiff-backup -r 1D /backup/history.dat /tmp/restore/history.dat
% ls -l /tmp/restore/
total 21600
-rw-r--r-- 1 sburton staff 22088632 Mar 3 15:10 history.dat
% rdiff-backup -r 2D /backup/history.dat /tmp/restore/history.dat
Fatal Error: Restore target /tmp/restore/history.dat already exists, and
will not be overwritten.
% rdiff-backup -r 2D --force /backup/history.dat
/tmp/restore/history.dat
Fatal Error: Restore target /tmp/restore/history.dat already exists, and
will not be overwritten.
% ls -l /tmp/restore/
total 21600
