I have glanced at the code and also believe that BackupPC_fsck is running unnecessarily after every backup attempt, whether it is successful or not.
In my xferLogs, BackupPC_refCountUpdate is being called twice at the end of a backup. Once like this: Xfer PIDs are now Running BackupPC_refCountUpdate -h afsgaia1.cas.unc.edu on somehost.unc.edu xferPids 4508 BackupPC_refCountUpdate: host somehost.unc.edu got 0 errors BackupPC_refCountPrint: total errors: 0 xferPids Finished BackupPC_refCountUpdate (running time: 16 sec) Then again like this: Running BackupPC_refCountUpdate -h somehost.unc.edu -f -c on somehost.unc.edu xferPids 4509 BackupPC_refCountUpdate: host somehost.unc.edu got 0 errors BackupPC_refCountPrint: total errors: 0 xferPids Finished BackupPC_refCountUpdate (running time: 1334 sec) The second refCountUpdate includes the "-f -c" args which appear to force an fsck on the host. I'm using rsync over ssh and there are no errors reported: Done: 0 errors, 31 filesExist, 86366561 sizeExist, 47163323 sizeExistComp, 0 filesTotal, 0 sizeTotal, 49 filesNew, 180552022 sizeNew, 58504938 sizeNewComp, 242121 inode Number of files: 105259 Number of files transferred: 179 Total file size: 2823131278 bytes Total transferred file size: 292936438 bytes Literal data: 18830521 bytes Matched data: 248088062 bytes File list size: 2308933 File list generation time: 0.001 seconds File list transfer time: 0.000 seconds Total bytes sent: 616768 Total bytes received: 21567585 sent 616768 bytes received 21567585 bytes 36638.07 bytes/sec total size is 2823131278 speedup is 127.26 DoneGen: 0 errors, 2 filesExist, 8306 sizeExist, 61440 sizeExistComp, 90549 filesTotal, 2823131278 sizeTotal, 0 filesNew, 0 sizeNew, 0 sizeNewComp, 242138 inode Unlike Gandalf, my backups are succeeding. I have successfully performed restores. Fulls and incrs happen as expected. Expiration looks correct per my config policy.
