Backups are taking about three hours for a particular fileserver and records indicate that over 300k new directories are being created every run.
I opened the XferLOG in a browser and searched for the word "create d" which catches every newly-created directory. The count was 348k matches. But the file count in the summary is only 4724 files [sorry for the formatting]: Totals Existing Files New Files Backup# Type #Files Size/MB MB/sec #Files Size/MB #Files Size/MB 31 incr 47568 10101.0 0.79 46950 8907.8 4724 1194.5 I'm not sure what the columns mean but the last line of this server's backups file is: 31 incr 1470272401 1470285236 47568 10591687070 46950 9340510442 4724 1252472758 0 0 0 0 3 6056094411 360393014 During this run the /var/lib/BackupPC//pc/$host/new/ folder grew at least 2.7G. Is this expected behavior? Why does BackupPC think it needs to create new directories? +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by itism...@gmail.com via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ 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/
