By the way I have a rotation between two hard drive every 2 weeks.
This done manually.
Localhost config.pl is stored on each hard drive including the backuppc dir as below:
backuppc/
               cpool/
               log/
               pc/
               pool/
               trash/

I think there is bad influence on the way backuppc behave.

That shouldn't cause any particular problem as long as the backuppc_nightly jobs run.


When I execute ' find . -links 1 ' in the cpool directory I see a lot of files. In my configuration, files are stored on a RAID volume mounted on a mount point in home directory. In the Cpool directory I got directories from : 0 to f and same subdirs from 0 to f...
For example:
ls cpool -> 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a b c d e f
and ls cpool/0/ -> same thing as above
ls cpool/0/0/ -> same thing
ls cpool/0/0/0/ -> gives me files with 34 hexa digit.

When I check (with ls -la) files date some are more than 1 year older than the other (eg: 2006 and 2007)

The age doesn't matter - files will remain as long as some copy of that same content is still in a backup run under the pc directory. However, when the last copy under the pc directory expires and is removed, the link count on the cpool instance will go down to 1 and the next run of backuppc_nightly should remove it. I think I would try stopping the backuppc service and running (as the backuppc user)
BackupPC_Nightly 0 255
to see if it releases some space or has some error.
After executing the command BackupPC_nightly 0 255 I couldn't see anything in output neither on display nor in log :-/
Is this command logging somewhere?

But here is a copu from log after a full backup job:
