[BackupPC-users] copied over files, incremental backup didn't get them

I copied about 35 GB of files from one server to another. They were all in one folder with many subfolders. Then the incremental backup ran on that server. The incremental backup did not backup any of the files. It only backed up the folders and the folder within the folders. It was just a b

[BackupPC-users] Failing incrementals and fulls resolved by moving aside prior full?

Hi all: I have been having an issue with one of my systems for the past 4 days. It backs up /, /var/bak and gets the directory tree for /var/log, but it never transfers any files. It looks like the rsync just stalls with a repeating select (according to strace) on file descriptor 1 (the input from

Re: [BackupPC-users] Surprising disk usage, *not* a link problem (I don't think)

Hi Robin, - disk fragmentation coupled with minimum file size allocation issues (?) ie lots of the same large file updated in place might lead to this scenario, I think? - can you confirm trash is empty? is the trash cleanup daemon getting stuck and therefore nothing getting cleaned up?
