I had been backing up a host for a while using only full backups
($Conf{FullPeriod} = 0.97; $Conf{IncrPeriod} = 1.97;). This was
working fine for a long time.
Yesterday I switched to using incrementals ($Conf{FullPeriod} = 6.97;
$Conf{IncrPeriod} = 0.97;). So last night it should have done an
incremental, but I got an email saying it couldn't create the XferLog
and another saying the host had never been backed up.
When I go an look, the host's directory in /BackupPC/pc has odd
permissions and no config file, no log files, and no backup dirs.
The RCS directory which was in there was in the trash directory.
So I restore the config file and log files and start a full backup. I
look in /BackupPC/pc and my host's directory is gone!!!! WTF! It got
put into /BackupPC/trash when I started a full backup. Starting with
an empty directory containing only the config seems to have fixed it,
but my old backups are gone forever.
BackupPC should NEVER move a directory in /BackupPC/pc into the trash.
Any idea what is going on?
I can probably reproduce it as I have a backup of that directory
before it got wierd.
I'm running BackupPC 2.1.1. I can send any configs or parts thereof
that you want to see.
Thanks,
Dan
