Hi, I've trawled through my inbox, and submitted a few issues that I was able to find. Right now, I would suggest the highest priority issues are 1 and 4.
If you are knowledgeable with C, then please take a look at issue 1, I suspect this could be as simple as an uninitialised variable/etc, but I ran out of knowledge on trying to fix it. I see 4 is marked as wishlist, though if the host being backed up has enough files, or you keep a huge number of backups, then it will actually never get around to doing a new backup. eg, a host with 20 million files might take 40 hours to do the refcnt, so you can't do daily backups. Using BPCv3, I have my max backups configured to 99999999, and I have over 5 years of daily backups. This client never wants to delete any version of any file, ever... So, just saying, IMHO, issue 4 might be more serious than a wishlist item. Can someone review some of the many other github project of backuppc, and see if there are relevant patches that can be absorbed? That could also be a great starting point. I feel that after a number of attempts to make this happen, some progress is being made (I found a number of threads in my email where this development issue was discussed, and until now they died with no action. I think this time we just might have the right people and the right timing to get critical mass.
