I'm a bit confused by your use of the term "fusion".
If by fusion you mean linking files from the most recent backup into the
pool (or cpool) I don't know of any way to prevent that other than perhaps
editing the BackupPC_link binary (I suspect that this is what you're
asking). Perhaps Craig can comment more usefully?
Any time I've wanted to do any sort of speed or throughput testing, I've
tried to start with a virgin configuration... no files in the pool, cpool,
or the pc/$host directory.... Perform my backup tests, then for another
iteration, change one variable, stop backuppc, nuke the previous backup's
data (rm pool/* cpool/* pc/$host), start backuppc and run another test. You
would NOT want to do that on a box with good backups that you care about.
Use a test server. Also only change one variable at a time unless you like
going slowly crazy.
But if I'm wrong, and by fusion you mean displaying each backup (even incr
levels) as if it's a complete "filled" backup (ie, including files from
previous backups), unless you change the default setting to force it, the
backups are not really filled; the CGI shows you filled backups but
internally each incr includes only its new or changed files.
Cheers, Stephen

You think that if I restart the backuppc service and I do again a backup,
it won't do a fusion between the old and the new backup ?
Thank you for this idea.

Re: [BackupPC-users] How to delete a Backup
Instead of waiting until the next day, can you just restart the backuppc
service?

Hi Romain,
I know only one "official" way: Delete your host in the config, on the
next day you will get a mail from the backuppc-server that the files in
[directory] can be safely deleted. After that it should be able to
include the host again from the local copy of the config file (do this
before removing the host ;) )

Hello,
Maybe this question was answered but I don't know how to delete a
backup corectly.
I don't try to do this manualy in deleting the folder with the number
of the backup on my server (in /data/BackupPC/pc/...).*
Is there a way to do this correctly ?
I would like to do this because I need to do some tests with all
compression level to evaluatethe time of backups.
And by default BackupPC do a fusion between backups and consequetly
the time it's not real.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Romain
