I recently upgraded my ARM plug computer from an ancient version of Ubuntu
to Debian Squeeze running backuppc 3.1.0. Everything seemed to be going
well until yesterday when a full backup of a relatively quiet server
downloaded 1.5 GB of data. The original full backup seven days ago was
only 2.3 GB and incremental backups have been around 152 MB. When I
checked the logs, there were 47 'create' entries adding up to about 300 MB
(I excluded 'create d' entries) while the rest were 'pool' and 'same'. The
300 MB includes some double-counting since the backup failed (probably
connectivity problems) and restarted.
This reminded me of a problem with File::RsyncP on ARM processes that
Craig fixed back in 2010. I was not able to verify the File::RsyncP
version level (probably 0.68) but used CPAN to upgrade File::RsyncP to
version 0.70. The incremental backup this morning finished in half the
time of previous incremental backups which is encouraging.
I am in the process of upgrading another ARM plug computer from Debian
Squeeze to Debian Wheezy. It looks like Wheezy comes with File::RsyncP
0.70 and backuppc 3.2.1.
