I backed up the share on a Windows 2000 Server via SMB, using BackupPC (BackupPC-2.1.2) on Fedora Core 4.
I am confused about the Host Backup Summary.
The share that I backed up contains 77,410 files and is 54GB (according to Windows 2000 server).
On the report (below) it looks like it only backed up 40,580 files and that it is 22848.9 MB.
Am I reading the report wrong?
I can't seem to find any detailed information in the Documentation or FAQ about the Host Backup Summary and what the various totals represent. I am trying to determine how much disk space that I am going to need before I implement a production system for BackupPC.
File Size/Count Reuse Summary
Existing files are those already in the pool; new files are those added to the pool. Empty files and SMB errors aren't counted in the reuse and new counts.
