..... by the way. If I do an archive using smb to say /tmp, the whole backup
is archived. When I do tar -zvxf
all the data is available and the size (26 GB) corresponds with the actual
size of the data being backed up. I will try and get the info you requested
asap. Unfortunately I am not onsight.

Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Restoring Backups to WinXP clients via rsyncd
fails to restore all files

I am also experincing the same problem. I am using smb and doing a "test"
restore to a removable IDE HDD on a windows 98 machine. The Full restore
completes without any errors. It is just that some subdirectories are
empty.
The data has definately been backed up because I can restore the
"missing"
files if I go and select them individualy. The actual size of the full
restore is 26 GB, but only 14 GB is restored.
Can you do the following:
- Look in the RestoreLOG file. Are the "missing" files listed?
Are there any errors?
- On the restore target, does the empty directory have
permissions/ACLs that would prevent writing of files?
This is probably the most likely explanation I can
think of.
- If the missing files are not in the RestoreLOG file, what
happens if you run:
BackupPC_tarCreate -h HOST -s SHARE -n -1 / | tar -tvf -
Do you see the missing files listed?
Has anyone seen this with rsync/rsyncd, or is it just SMB?
