Wow thats a relief, i thought it wasn't working without seeing any errors. By the way my issues with rsync_bpc are solved, it all seems to be working now. Thank you for your help.
Ok so that brings up another question. We have a synology boxes that we use to take offsite. In the past we did a file sync from the backup directory to the synology box. If only the metadata is kept there im assuming then that we aren't getting a full offsite if i understand correctly From: "backuppc-users" <backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> To: "backuppc-users" <backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: "Craig Barratt" <cbarr...@users.sourceforge.net> Sent: Monday, October 26, 2020 12:25:46 PM Subject: Re: [BackupPC-users] Incomplete backups? CAUTION: This email originated from outside your organization. Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. This is normal. In 4.x just an attrib file captures all the information about which files are in that directory, with all their metadata (size, modes, links, xattrs etc). As you note, the file is actually empty and all that matters is the md5 digest in its name. That refers to the actual attribute file in the pool. This setup avoids using any hardlinks to represent duplicate files. You can print the contents of the attrib file with BackupPC_attribPrint. That should show all the files and their metadata in that directory (assuming the backup is filled; if not the attrib file just includes files that are different from the next backup).

The old one is 3.31 and i am using the latest 4.4.0. I have it making backups but they seem extremely small since many of the backups are around a terabyte in size. I noticed this as i was comparing a smaller one that was backing up /var/lib/mysql/asterisk When i look at the old system and navigate there i get down to the .MYD and MYI files that a mysql should have. However on the new system all i have is a single attrib_09984fb4670aaae1110ed45e91ab945a file of 0 bytes. The old one has 788 files in that directory. However if i browse the backup on my new system, it seems the files show in the tree. Is there something wrong here or has something changed and this is normal.
