Hi all, To all developers and other contributors on this list: Thank you for contributing to BackupPC.
My client's BackupPC server's 1TB backup-storage RAID array is almost out of space (96% full). He's running BackupPC 3.1.0 on Ubuntu. The server backs up perhaps a few dozen hosts. It's set to keep at least one full backup and at least sixty incremental backups per host. 1. I guessed that IncrFill was a good way to save space: this way only one full would be stored per machine. Was I right? Is IncrFill the best way to save space? 2. I enabled this a few hours ago and manually ran BackupPC_nightly but the server hasn't filled any incrementals. Is there a reasonably easy way to force it to fill the incrementals? (Otherwise I may just set it not to keep any incrementals: I figure that should make BackupPC discard all of them, perhaps right after I reload the config file.)
