The server log has a bunch (17k) of "BackupPC_refCountUpdate: missing pool file" messages. Reread the v4 docs, github wiki, issues and a bunch of messages on this email listserve. I am correct that these messages are benign and do not indicate that a backed up file is missing a pool file?
I believe you are correct.
My overriding concern is that a file will not be able to recover when needed and that issue was signaled by a benign log message.
I'm sure that you are right to be concerned. I would be.
What additional steps should be taken to resolve these "BackupPC_refCountUpdate" messages?
Does this help? It's just one result from a quick search. https://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg33090.html It seems that this issue has cropped up before without an obvious cause, but there was a suggestion that an unclean server shutdown might have been implicated. I think that's just a guess. Full marks, incidentally, for looking at your server logs. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
