Hallo Stefan,
i just wanted to ask if nobody has an idea about this? Where can the size
difference come from?
Greetings
Hello all,
I have a strange problem with my BackupPC 4.4.0 installation.
With two hosts to be backed up, the "File Size/Count Reuse Summary" shows a too large value
for "Totals -> Size/MiB".
The system to be backed up is about 77 GiB ("du -sh /" shows 77G).
Nevertheless, BackupPC shows 106110 MiB.
Where can this difference in size come from? In an old installation, with
BackupPC 3.3.2, the size is displayed correctly.
How can I investigate this error? What information is needed to investigate
further?
Why do you think this is an error...? BackupPC keeps a number of backups,
some full, some incremental - how many exactly you'll have to check in
your config.
Your files will change at some rate.
Assuming you'd keep 7 backups and do completeley rewrite your disk
every day, then in a week your backups will increase to 7 x 77 GB,
although du will still show only 77 GB used...
Is that your problem? Seems to be just a misunderstanding.
Best regards,
Iosif Fettich
