My goal is simpel: When restoring a fileset for a specified date
(including "most recent"), BackupPC should give me exactly the files
and directories that existed at the time of the last backup prior to
that date.
According to my several tests this doesn't works even if the last
backup was a Full backup. Files and directories crated after a backup
(full or incremental) will NOT be deleted during a restoration.
For exempel: suppose taking a full backup of a directory including the
files a1, b1, c1. Then delete the files a1, b1, c1 and create 3 new
files instead a2, b2, c2 (in the same directory). Doing a direct
restoration of the directory will give me a right copy of the files
a1, b1 and c1. BUT the files a2, b2, c2 are still left in the same
directory (which now will be including 6 files).
To avoid this problem i tried to add "--delete" to
$Conf{RsyncRestoreArgs} but the restoration failed with the following
error:
"
Remote[1]: ERROR: buffer overflow in recv_rules [receiver]
Remote[1]: rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22)
at util.c(121) [receiver=2.6.9]
Read EOF: Connection reset by peer
Tried again: got 0 bytes
Done: 301 files, 6183643 bytes
restore failed: Unable to read 4 bytes
"
I guess this mean that rsyncp doesn't support the "--delete" option.
Any workaround??
Thank you for help!
