[rdiff-backup-users] AssertionError: Found too many current_mirror incs!

[Kevin Prichard]

Hi,

Been using rdiff-backup, and it's been great, until a few days ago, when the
following error happened.  I'm assuming this is because I didn't sprinkle the
proper amount of powdered batwing over the commandline... or maybe there's some
built-in limitation as to number of increments?

I know it's a dumb question, but how many current_mirror incs is too many?  It'd
be good to know the limit and maybe build in an early warning that the limit is
coming up.

I tried --remove-older-than with various periods (30D 10D 5D) but all yielded
the same error below (as does my ordinary backup cmdline and also
--list-increments.)

Any help appreciated.
