Hi list, I save my backuppc data dir once a day with the backup-manager to an external storage to have a second backup if something unforeseeable appears.
I always do the full backup of the three machines from Friday to Saturday in the night and afterwards the backup-manager backups the whole /var/lib/backup directory. So my master backup is - machine 1: 10/30 01:37 - machine 2: 10/30 02:30 - machine 3: 10/30 01:30 And it will be this night. But I habe some strange behavior in the backup of the backup-manager: #ls -l * 37968110109 22. Okt 10:32 var-lib-backuppc.20101022.tar.gz.gpg 32907103228 23.

Nov 10:18 var-lib-backuppc.incremental.bin The output is a little bit shortened. The CPool in Bytes is at 52.57 GB at the moment. Today in the night there were only incremental backups with: - machine 1: 210.9 MB - machine 2: 1861.4 MB - machine 3: 32.5 MB But why is the backup of today 34 GB huge? I thought, if there is something like a time to live for the hard links, then I have an explanation. But I don't find anything in the configuration. Thanks for any hint.
