Do you really mean "archive", or do you mean "backup"? Did you upgrade using the vanilla tarball and configure.pl? What XferMethod are you using on this host? > I noticed that the biggest host didn't backup it's full data.

What is $Conf{IncrLevels} set to? I suspect it is missing from your config.pl. It's a new setting in 3.x that should be automatically added during the upgrade. > File Size/Recount Summary > Totals Existing Files New Files > Backup# Type #Files Size/MB MB/sec #Files Size/MB > #Files Size/MB > > 227 > <http://qsbs.quicksoftware.co.za/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=qsfs&num=227> > > full 317664 71094.2 4.55 317535 70765.7 193 > 329.0 > 228 > <http://qsbs.quicksoftware.co.za/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=qsfs&num=228> > > incr 5347 316.2 1.57 5332 78.4 34 237.9 > > The archived source is only 75 Meg, and should be a lot bigger. I'm not sure which 75MB you are referring to. The full is ~71GB with 317K files. The incremental is ~316MB. Are you saying that the archive you create is only 75MB? > What could be causing this? I suspect the missing $Conf{IncrLevels} causes the incremental level to be written as a bogus ARRAY(0x9c09620), instead of the integer 1. That bogus value is interpreted as 0, and that causes the incremental to look like a full when the archive is done. So you should: - carefully edit the pc/HOST/backups file and replace "ARRAY(0x9c09620)" with the integer 1. Very important: keep the one tab before and after, since this is a tab-delimited file. - make sure that your config.pl contains a setting for $Conf{IncrLevels}. I don't know why it didn't get added during the upgrade. Did you manually edit or shuffle the main config.pl file around after upgrading?
