[rdiff-backup-users] Restore to a new computer?

2008-01-25 Thread Skip Montanaro
I've been semi-diligently backing up my laptop to my big machine for awhile. I have a new laptop on order. Is any sort of setup necessary on the new machine or can I simply restore from my backup archive to my new computer using rdiff-backup -r? Thanks, Skip Montanaro
