          I filed a bug report https://github.com/sol1/rdiff-backup/issues/37 and found the following work-around. It finds directories with multiple current_mirror entries. The ones with more than two are the culprit.



          In my case two of the three files had a similar timestamp and I removed the one that was one minute older - now the error is gone.



          Example:



          doe@computer:/backup/rbackup$ sudo ./countmirror 
          3 ./company/Admin/rdiff-backup-data


          Script:



          #!/bin/bash
          # https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9157138/recursively-counting-files-in-a-linux-directory

          #
          # get the current mirrors
          # param 1: filter
          #
          get_current_mirrors() {
          local l_filter="$1"
          for f in $(find . -name current_m* ) ; do
          d=$(dirname $f)
          b=$(basename $f)
          case $l_filter in
          "dir") echo $d;;
          "file") echo $f;;
          *) echo $f
          esac
          done
          }

          #get_current_mirrors
          #get_current_mirrors file
          get_current_mirrors dir | sort | uniq --count --repeated
