I have a home file server that also runs backuppc for a number of other
servers. Backuppc backs up /home (host localhome) on the file server so I can
recover from accidentally deleted files.
Originally, /var/lib/backuppc was mapped to its own partition which
periodically caused space issues. I recently moved the backuppc data folder to
/home/backuppc and mapped it to /var/lib/backuppc but forgot to exclude the
/home/backuppc folder from backups of /home. Backuppc completed backup 325 and
part of 326 before I noticed the problem. I excluded /home/backuppc from
further backups and did a manual incremental backup which created 327 (partial
backup 326 disappeared).
Although the cpool size did not increase, pc/localhome is over 2GB bigger. I
tried running "BackupPC_Delete -h localhome -n 327 -s home backuppc" in the
hope that would clean up the pointers but it merged #327/home/backuppc ->
#325/home/backuppc. I repeated the process with backup 325 which merged
#325/home/backuppc -> #324/home/backuppc. Right now, pc/localhome/324 takes up
644MB while pc/localhome/327 takes up 1015MB, compared to under 15MB before.
Is there a way to get rid of the unnecessary pointers to /home/backuppc or do I
just wait for them to age out?
