Then can't really help, I'd suggest leaving things alone, or wiping the whole lot and starting fresh... Even if you just rename the pc/hostname directory to pc/hostname.old, so you won't actually lose your backup content, and let backuppc start fresh. > I had switched on filled=yes just to see if that would make a > difference, but it didn?t. You would be best advised to leave that off, unless you really need it on (most people don't seem to need it, and everything works just fine). > Justin Mauger wrote: >> I?ve been running backuppc on my Ubuntu box for a while now, and it >> seems to have gotten out of sync.

In addition to what I said before, whether a backup is a full or incremental, they will both take up exactly the same amount of additional disk space (well, a full will use more inodes, and hence perhaps a few extra MB's, but basically they are the same). So, at this point it might be worth checking that pooling is actually working properly. Try these commands: cd $TOPDIR du -sm cpool pool pc/localhost/1* Basically, you should see a lot of data in either pool or cpool, and very little data in any of the pc/localhost/1* directories. This is because the files under localhost are just hard links, they do not take up much space. Also, an incremental backup will take a long time if a lot of files have changed.... Hope that helps a little...
