How do you call DeltaCopy from the Backuppc Server?
With Rsync. XferMethod = rsyncd
The incremental backup runs inludes all files, but only every other day.
What did you mean with "but only every other day" ?
Well, not every incremental run backs up all files. For example on host
eddie ,see beow, incr backup# 333 is ok but 334 is not, it touches all
files, and I believe it shouldn't? I mean I know all of these files
haven't changed.
Unless you are doing different incremental levels, the two runs should
be exactly the same from the server's perspective, doing the rsync
comparison against the save full run as the base. Can anything have
changed on the files (timestamps, owner, etc.)? I'm not sure what
metadata it actually checks on a windows client or whether there is
anything different about DeltaCopy in this respect, but rsync will show
those differences as an update without spending any time copying the
unchanged content. But even then it doesn't make sense that #335 is
normal again unless you have set incremental levels since it should
still be checking against the last full.
I find it highly unlikely that all of the files have changed as this is
a recurring pattern which is the same on these two clients. The only
thing I can think of is that Deltacopy (or rsync) misinterprets
something, perhaps after a reboot or sleep on the client, but that seems
also unlikely.
The $Conf{IncrLevels} is left blank in the config file. The default is 1
I believe. Could that cause the problem?
Also, the setting for XferMethod on localhost is tar, not rsyncd, which
might explain why there is no problem with the localhost. So it seems
the rsync is the lowest common denominator.
