Hi,
I am running backuppc version 3.0.0-3ubu on Ubuntu gutsy. Ubuntu puts
backuppc's backups in /var/lib/backuppc. I have this linked to /backup which
is on an external hard drive. This hard drive is set to spin down after 30
minutes of inactivity. backuppc is set to wake up once each night at 2 am to
do its backups. It is only backing up the localhost to the external hard
drive. My problem is that while backuppc is running, the external hard drive
never spins down. If I stop backuppc the hard drive spins down after 30
minutes. So far as I can see, however, nothing is being written to the drive
during the day, and backuppc is set only to wake up at 2am. Does anyone have
any ideas as to what backuppc process is preventing the drive from spinning
down. It's a big waste of energy to keep the drive spinning 24/7 for one
nightly backup that takes about an hour.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
