Hello: My BackupPC has been acting strangely for about a month now. This is a system that has been backing up correctly for over 2 years, keeping 1 year's worth of old files.
Problem #1: The biggest problem is that, for some (not all) of my hosts, the incr backup gets everything, but the full only creates empty directories. So when BackupPC deletes the old incrementals and leaves the fulls, data is lost. Here is example (Compression Summary) from the GUI: <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=657>657 full 3 56357.5 25608.1 54.6% 25473.1 8338.1 67.3% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=668>668 full 3 56253.4 25621.6 54.5% 25898.9 8436.8 67.4% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=683>683 full 3 62818.9 31146.2 50.4% 25837.5 8711.6 66.3% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=698>698 full 3 18.2 6.4 64.8% 3573.2 2760.3 22.8% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=702>702 full 3 9.5 5.6 41.1% 4340.2 2753.6 36.6% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=704>704 incr 3 88251.2 38619.4 56.2% 5155.2 3457.0 32.9% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=705>705 full 3 146.9 40.5 72.4% 34233.8 13946.3 59.3% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=706>706 incr 3 57780.8 28094.8 51.4% 30123.5 11573.6 61.6% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=707>707 incr 3 60549.2 30372.1 49.8% 27776.8 9383.7 66.2% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=708>708 incr 3 59645.2 29148.8 51.1% 29736.6 11372.0 61.8% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=709>709 full 3 265.7 56.2 78.8% 29439.3 11370.5 61.4% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=710>710 incr 3 60354.5 28614.6 52.6% 27197.2 9249.5 66.0% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=711>711 incr 3 59677.1 28510.2 52.2% 32128.7 12949.6 59.7% <https://ns00.adhost.com/cgi-bin/BackupPC_Admin?action=browse&host=f1-ubk01-extra1&num=712>712 full 3 3298.4 708.4 78.5% 25910.2 9101.3 64.9% Note how the fulls after 683 are MUCH smaller, but the incrementals appear to be getting everything. Problem #2, Display Issues: In the GUI, on the host summary page, "Full Size" is shown as "0" for some hosts, even though, once again, the incrementals show all files. As above, the fulls don't have anything but empty directories. In the GUI, on the host summary page, "Full Size" is much less than it should be. Same situation as above. I believe all of the above is related to the same problem, but I have no idea what that is. Like I said, this was running perfectly for over 2 years, and other than adding a host or 2, not much has changed in that time. WHY IS THE FULL BACKUP WRITING EMPTY DIRECTORIES? Any help much appreciated.
