[BackupPC-users] Discrepant file size reports of backups
Hi,
we have a problem with our backuppc server. The disk is almost full, but
the reported size of the backups is much less. Additionally, the pool is
reported to be empty in the CGI.
I tried to set all backups (full and incremental) to a minimum and
maximum number of one and run a nightly cleanup. No data is deleted at
all, the pool is reported to be emtpy.
Can someone explain why the reported sizes (see below) are that
different? Is there orphaned data in the pool directory and how can I
clean it? Any other ideas?
OS: Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS
Backuppc 3.0.0
$Conf{TopDir} = '/usr/share/backuppc/data';
$Conf{ConfDir} = '/etc/backuppc';
$Conf{LogDir} = '';
$Conf{InstallDir} = '/usr/share/backuppc';
$Conf{CgiDir} = '/usr/share/backuppc/cgi-bin';
This is what the host summary shows on top:
* 19 full backups of total size 274.58GB (prior to pooling and
compression),
* 13 incr backups of total size 24.86GB (prior to pooling and
compression).

Are you using the backuppc deb from ubuntu? If so, you seem to have
modified topdir incorrectly.
the pool, cpool and pc directories *must* all reside on the same
filesystem. Also, you can't simply change topdir in the config file.

that seems to be the case, judging from the du output.

I just catched a host in link stage and it has activeJob=1:
"myhost" => {"lastGoodBackupTime" => "1255622063","deadCnt" =>
0,"reason" => "Reason_backup_done","activeJob" => 1,"state" =>
"Status_link_running","aliveCnt" => 575,"endTime" =>
"1255622063","needLink" => 0,"startTime" => "1255611675","type" =>
"incr","userReq" => undef},

Maybe you could better use "status jobs" instead? It looks like this:
%Jobs = (
" admin " =>
{"cmd" => "/path/to/BackupPC-3.1.0/bin/BackupPC_nightly -m 192 255",
"reqTime" => "1255622404","mesg" => "","pid" => 29003,"fh" => *::FH,
"user" => "BackupPC","startTime" => "1255622404","type" => undef,"fn" => 7},
" trashClean " =>
{"cmd" => "/path/to/BackupPC-3.1.0/bin/BackupPC_trashClean",
"reqTime" => "1234604612","mesg" => "","pid" => 6293,"fh" => *::FH,
"user" => "BackupPC","processState" => "running","startTime" => "1234604612",
"type" => undef,"fn" => 5},
"myhost" =>
{"cmd" => "/path/to/BackupPC-3.1.0/bin/BackupPC_link myhost",
"reqTime" => "1255622063","pid" => 28848,"fh" => *::FH,
"user" => "BackupPC","startTime" => "1255622063","type" => "incr",
"fn" => 6});
-> So just use the result as the perl hash it is, remove the trashClean
entry (which is not critical to interrupt at any time) and check the
size of the resulting hash.
HTH,
Tino.

Thanks. That's definitely a superior idea. I used this logic to
determine if a job is running:
BackupPC_serverMesg status jobs|awk -F } '{print $2}'
If only trashClean is running, the above evaluates to ");" (without
quotes), which is the end of the status statement. If one or more
backup jobs are running, job text will appear. Therefore, I simply
wait for the expression to evaluate ");".
