Hi all, I've got a Fedora 8 system, running BackupPC 3.1.0-1 out of the rpm. I've run into several problems with BackupPC.
My problems: (1) The size of the backed-up data increases by 32GB every time I do a full backup. I suspect that BackupPC is storing a separate copy of each identical file for each full backup. Is this supposed to happen? (2) At some point (mid-January?) BackupPC would not start when I started the system, printing an error message about not being able to create a test hardlink between two directories. I created the (missing) cpool directory, and then it would start. (I may have inadvertently deleted the cpool directory earlier, or it may just have not come with the package.) (3) Now that my filesystem is full due to (1) above, BackupPC is sending me emails saying that "Yesterday 24 hosts were skipped because the file system containing /home/BackupPC/ was too full." But I'm only using BackupPC to back up ONE host -- how could 24 hosts be skipped? (Clearly it's counting each wakeup as a skipped host.) This problem is not critical. (4) The Server Status page claims that "Pool is 0.00GB comprising 0 files and 0 directories (as of 2/10 03:00)" This is not true -- my "pc" directory is 64GB. (the cpool directory is still empty). This problem is also not critical, but it may shed some light on the situation. Thanks for any help you can offer. If there are any other details that you need, please ask.
