Hello, I have a script which performs a backup and then tries to remove all increments older than 180 days. Sometimes, depending on when the script has run, there aren't any increments older than 180 days. rdiff-backup then returns with an exit code of 2, which causes the cron job that launched the script to send me an email about it, which I don't want. Is there a way to stop rdiff-backup from considering the case where no increments are older than 180 days as an error? I thought that --force might do it, but no. Thanks, Stephen Isard
