Okay, maybe this is dangerous to try, but I need to resolve this problem, so here goes...
I have a backup which includes, unfortunately, a directory containing 233,049 files. It's a deprecated temporary area that a long-running process has been dumping files into for a long time, and had been for- gotten about until now. So... that's an obscene number of files for a single directory to hold under the best of circumstances, but it seems that BackupPC_Link is getting really bogged down slogging through this moby huge directory (which is stored on a FireWire-connected drive, only making that worse). Since I don't want that data anyway, I'd just as soon cut my losses at this point and skip over them. If I were to stop BackupPC_Link, then go in to /.../pc/$HOST/0 and delete the offending files, then re-start BackupPC_Link, will it get confused at the missing files? Or should I also edit NewFileList.0 and remove the offending entries from that as well? For that matter, should I just edit NewFileList.0 and remove EVERY line up to and including the place it's stuck now? And as long as I'm asking questions, I have multiple mountpoints being backed up, and NewFileList.0 has an entry for "/attrib" before each of the sets. Is that duplicate entry going to cause a problem?
