Hi, I'm using BackupPC 2.1.3 and am mostly very happy with it. But now I'm running into the "too many links" problem with large subversion directories. Please see
http://www.arcknowledge.com/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.backuppc.general/2005-03/msg00145.html and related messages for background information. In his final mail on that thread, Craig said > Upon further inspection, it turns out the rsync XferMethod > doesn't check the hardlink limit when it is linking to > an identical file. So there are two cases you have found > where the hardlink limit is not checked: when there is > a transfer error, and when rsync detects the file is > identical. The latter case happens a lot. > > These are both bugs that I need to fix... That was March '05. Unfortunately the problem still occurs in 2.1.3. Before I go ahead and upgrade to 3.0.0: Is the bug fixed in that version? If not, are there plans to fix it? The "solution" of excluding .svn directories from backups, as mentioned in the previous discussion, is not acceptable for me as SVN working copies are among the most valuable stuff we're backing up... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Greg -- Gregor Schmid ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
