Hello, I have a few questions that maybe someone will be so kind to answer. The first question I believe I know the answer after reading through the BackupPC documentation.
1. Am I correct in understanding that I must have compression enabled to take advantage of the checksum caching option for full backups only, incremental behavior does not change whether I have compressed or uncompressed files? 2. Would it be beneficial to enable compression solely to take advantage of this feature? The reason I disabled compression is because most all data being backed up is already compressed. The documentation states: Starting in 2.1.0, BackupPC supports optional checksum caching, which means the block and file checksums only need to be computed once for each file. This results in a significant performance improvement. This only works for compressed pool files. It is enabled by adding'--checksum-seed=32761', 3. Lastly, this question may be a tough one or not possible at all. I love the history option to view file versions, added, or removed from which backups. Is there a way to grep this information from the command line or something to that nature? With many level deep directories it can be difficult to discover these changes such as when a file no longer exist in one backup compared to another. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
