Sorry - my mail reader (text mode) doesn't always do a good job with links so I google searched and found the (faulty) backupcentral version instead. I have been playing with your script and it seems to spit out about 80% of the files/directories (24908/28834) that are backed up in this incremental backup. Most of the 24000 files seem to have 5 or 6 digit perms like 40755 or 100660. Not sure if this is a problem and if so what to do about it. I seem to get this on the good backups too. In fact, at first glance it's hard to tell what if anything is the difference between a 'good' and 'bad' backup. For most directories, every file and subdirectory are listed even though it all seems fine. I tried doing -X "40755,100644" etc. to exclude these perms but it didn't seem to have any effect so I'm not sure what is triggering these files to be listed since I thought only "bad" ones were to be printed. For example in / I have the following [5] 40755 0 0 0 4096 0x48f7aeb7 / [5] 40755 0 0 0 1024 0x48f84c29 /boot [0] 100644 0 0 0 0 0x4743a755 -i [0] 100644 0 0 0 0 0x48f7aeb7 .autofsck [0] 100600 0 0 0 2556 0x48c7dbb0 .bash_history [5] 40755 0 0 0 4096 0x478175ba .qt [5] 40755 0 0 0 4096 0x478175a5 .vmware [5] 40755 0 0 0 4096 0x48ef153c bin [5] 40755 0 0 0 1024 0x48f84c29 boot [5] 40755 0 0 0 5860 0x48f7badf dev [5] 40755 0 0 0 12288 0x48f8b077 etc [5] 40755 0 0 0 4096 0x476ff4f2 home [5] 40755 0 0 0 4096 0x48ef153c lib Also, the debug output for the Users list looks good except for the last 2 elements: 0755 (which looks like a perm) 65534 (which seems like the max number for a uid) Similarly the last element of the group list is: 65534. Finally, you may want to add the following debug line to your script for completeness: print "Perms: ", (join ',', sort {$a <=> $b} keys %permmap), "\n" if $opts {D}; ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
