Re: [BackupPC-users] How does BackupPC 4.1.1 calculate Pools size?

[Michael Huntley]

Based upon my observations when testing it appears these are temporary
files prior to being added to the pool.

Craig - any input? 

Cheers!

Hi Ray,
I have similar files in cpool. ~60GB in 6 files.
I suspected they were created in my experiments with archive host. At  
least the file date would fit.
But that was a wild guess.

Anybody else seeing such files?

Re: [BackupPC-users] How does BackupPC 4.1.1 calculate Pools size?

[Ray Frush]

I spotted two file stored in the cpool totaling 23.5GB, which is about the
same as the discrepancy between the pool size that BackupPC reports and
what I'm counting on the file system.

...

Can you help me understand what these files are for?

Re: [BackupPC-users] Multiple issues on newly installed 4.1.0.

Hello again Craig,

Confirmed the infinite loop problem here is fixed:

http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/week14.png
http://www.jubileegroup.co.uk/JOS/misc/week18.png

In case it's of interest I replaced BackupPC_tarExtract manually, no
other change.  I didn't have to edit the 'use lib' line as I have
the installation in /usr/local/BackupPC/.

Perhaps you missed the first paragraph of the OP in this thread.  Any
comments I might make on this list are intended to provide information
which is hopefully helpful in making a good package better.  In your
reply to me of 9th April you asked

> Are you sure you want to use SCGI?

I wasn't exactly expecting that question.  No, I'm not sure I want to
use it, but it's what you told me to do in the documentation when I
read it (Step 9: CGI interface).  Until I read the three choices in
the installation documentation I had never heard of SCGI.  I have no
interest in it whatever other than running BackupPC.  The other two
choices offered - running a second Apache on the same box or running
something with a very reduced performance - seem to me to be inferior
options.  The point is I think now moot, however, as it was not SCGI
which was spinning.

There seem to be no other replies to your test request in this thread.
You'd have had this present information nearly two weeks sooner if the
'daily' digest, to which I'm subscribed, came out more frequently than
every couple of weeks.  In the spirit of not making complaints I only
mentioned that issue twice, about eight or nine years ago, and I have
since then settled into a routine of setting aside some time to skim
the 80 or so list posts in a typical digest.  However if you'd like to
have the problem fixed, if you give me the necessary access I'm sure I
can do that for you.  It would certainly help me.
