It's not really clear what you are talking about. I think what you are saying is that you usually use rdiff for backup, but you want to perform an additional backup to local media because you are moving from one hosting provider to another and there is a possiblilty that something might go wrong.
In that case, since you'll be doing a full, (non-incremental), backup anyway, just do it the simple way - use /bin/pax, and download the archive your local machine over sftp afterwards.
