As far as I understand BackupPC 4.x don't use hardlinks anymore. Instead files are stored only in [c]pool. In pc/<host>/<backupnumber> in each directory, backuped from the host, is only one, zero [length], attrib file and its name includes one MD5 digest.
All correct.
Because it is only one MD5 digest, how can backuppc identify all the files which are part of this directories?
Backup0PC uses the MD5 digest in the name of the zero-length attrib file to identify a file in cpool/ which was created to store this information. This pool file contains the directory information in a compressed form. You can examine the content using BackupPC_attribPrint /path/to/cpoolfile. -- 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/
