Ok so i found the culprit, i think... in one websites tmp dir i found
1.9 million php sess_ files!!

I guess i worded my email in a weird way.....Sorry.. :) I understand
that file quantity can increase, but i also meant to ask that a full
back up is just that, a full backup , so it backs up all the files, so
what i was wondering is why each week, the files are increasing so
much??? Since its a virtual hosting server, its hard to tell since i
have no history on how big or how many files were in certain dirs weeks
ago.... I am nervous to let it run its next full backup as twice it
killed the server... would a recursive dir loop be bad for backuppc? or
does it ignore that stuff... is ther any magic command that i can use
to detect a directory loop, i am on Debian Etch....
here is my localhost conf file...
# Local server backup of / as user backuppc
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'tar';
$Conf{TarShareName} = ['/'];
#$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/sudo /usr/local/bin/tarCreate -v -f -
-C $shareName+ --totals';
$Conf{TarClientCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo $tarPath'
. ' -c -v -f - -C $shareName --totals';
$Conf{TarClientRestoreCmd} = '/usr/bin/env LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/sudo
$tarPath -x -p --numeric-owner --same-owner'
. ' -v -f - -C $shareName+';
$Conf{TarFullArgs} = '$fileList';
$Conf{TarIncrArgs} = '--newer=$incrDate $fileList';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/data', '/tmp', '/root/.cpan',
'/var/log', '/var/downloads', '/media', '/mnt', '/proc',
'/var/lib/backuppc', '/sys', '/var/oldjoe', '/var/run'];
Thanks!

Does this simply mean its backing up more and more files each
time.... i
mean a full backup is ALL files right? so with that, does that mean
somehow i am having more and more files on the server?
Of course it's possible that the number of files is increasing, but
are you backing up localhost without excluding the BackupPC pool? In
that case you are recursively backing up all of your files...
