I'd prefer the uncompressed size, but compressed would be OK. I realise
that some files will have been de-duplicated within the backups for that
client, and we only need to count such files once. Files that are
de-duplicated with other clients need to counted for each.

Thanks,

For a v3 backuppc, I think it will work to use du on the pc directory:

du -sh backuppc/pc/clienthostname

This will include the size of a few logs/etc as well, but that data is 
also specific to the client. It will only count a file once if it is 
stored in multiple backups, and will also count files that are shared 
with other clients.


Keep in mind, it could take a long time to generate the report and 
require significant memory, depending on the number of files in the 
backup, and the number of backups for that client.


Not sure how this works with v4, I haven't considered that.

Adam

Whether it is practical to rsync the whole archive directory or not
will depend on the overall size and to a certain extent to the amount
of RAM in the server.  Expect it to take several days anyway.You
can use dd to copy the entire drive or partition to a similarly-sized
device.

Luigi-
There is no way I know of to convert your V3 pool to V4, and I can confirm that 
it is
impractical to try to copy or duplicate your V3 pool to a new system due to the 
way it is
hard-linked internally.
The earlier recommendation to run your New BackupPC server (v4) while the old 
server (v3)
is available is  a generally good best practice when making this kind of shift.

I've never worked with v4 yet, so someone else will have to answer this.

Re: [BackupPC-users] about migrate to a new server

2018-05-10 Thread Luigi Augello 
It is V3 and the new backuppc server have V4.
I cannot preserve the old server I will return it because it was on leasing.
which is the solution. Can I convert V3 to V4 and after can I make the
migration to new server ?
Thanks
Luigi

Is this BackupPC v3 or v4?
With v3, the number of symlinks make it impractical to copy data from one
machine to another (you can do it if you dd the partition to a partition on
the new machine, but don't try a file-level copy unless you use some
specialized scripts and really know what you're doing).

It's generally easiest to just set up a new server and keep the old one
around as a backup until the data can be considered 'expired'. Much simpler
and more reliable than trying to migrate data.

For BackupPC v4 I have no experience.

[BackupPC-users] Full quota for a client

2018-05-10 Thread Keith Edmunds 
Hi, is there a way of finding the full quota of diskspace used by one
client system? That's the total space used by all the backups held for
that client system.

I'd prefer the uncompressed size, but compressed would be OK. I realise
that some files will have been de-duplicated within the backups for that
client, and we only need to count such files once. Files that are
de-duplicated with other clients need to counted for each.

Thanks,
