Re: [BackupPC-users] [BackupPC] Cpool and pc quite are big according to size of backuped data and backup config

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. Les, Just one thing I forgot :-/ There is a symlink between /opt/backuppc/files/pc/localhost (os file system) -> /mnt/hdd1/backuppc/pc/localhost (backup hdd file system) Maybe the problem comes from this symlink, what do you think about? Maybe I should have make a hardlink? Or maybe I shouldn't have copied /localhost subdirs to backup hdds Here is the backup log for this WE, Incr + Full: Contents of file /opt/backuppc/files/pc/localhost/LOG, modified 2008-03-31 03:30:10
