I am running BackupPC 3.3.1-4ubuntu1 (from Ubuntu 18.04).
I have noticed a problem when restoring from backup via the web UI.
If you run a full backup via rsync and there are two files that are
hardlinked, then in the backup the first one is saved as 'pool' and
the other is created as a 'h
I have checksum caching enabled, but it is hashing out the entire hard
drive of both the server and the client during a full backup. My
understanding is that when checksum caching is enabled BackupPC is only
suppose to checksum a portion of the files during a full backup, not all
of them.

I've got one Vista server that's sending back a strange smb error:
"protocol negotiation failed"
I've tried turning the local firewall off with the same result.
SMB version is 3.0.23.

I don't think that would be the problem.
Any ideas?

In this case we're backing up 'My Documents' and the 'Desktop'.
I've already globally excluded a bunch of file types (.mp3, .avi, .jpg,
.exe, etc...) in the server's config.pl so we don't get any music,

We tried using the 'follow links = no' option in the smb.conf file to no
avail.
We're running BackupPC version 2.1.2pl1 and Samba version 3.0.10 (but
same result with 3.0.24).
Many thanks.

This also works:

what might have caused this sort of behavior? Unless someone has
some insight, it seems as though a fresh install is the only way to go.
I would just rather not loose my archived backup sets.
Any advice?
Thanks.

More or less yes. Dirvish boils down to a perl wrapper around "rsync

I haven't tested backuppc without compression -- after all this was one

urely not ingrained in my mind. On the contrary I am still struggling
to understand why distinguishing full and incremental backups is
necessary if one uses rsync. To me it this seems like a relict from
tape archives. Same for doing full based on the last full, not the last
filled-in incremental.

rsync collecting and transmitting the file lists. Now a full backups
take almost a day, even if the amount of new data is negligible
(checksum caching enabled).

have you tried to add "exec" to avoid the extra shell?

Just a guess.
