Hello Iosif,
you do understand correctly. I'm doing the same backup with v3 and v4.
No significant time delay between backups. I would be ok with slight
differences,
temp files having changed, log files having a few more lines, but i see
differences in the gigabyte range.
What makes it even more complicated: When exporting the backup as .tar
or .zip it is almost the same size (not counting the slight differences
of logs, temp files, etc).
The significant size difference is only in BackupPC.
Greetings
Hello Stefan,
i can already reproduce this with a single backup.
The following initial situation: A host that has never been backed up.
Now BackupPC v3 and v4 both make a full backup, but end up showing very
different results as far as the size of the backup is concerned.
Does this describe my question more clearly?
Sort of :) Sounds like a different problem this time, as you -
correctly - do not mention 'du' anymore.
If I understand correctly, you see different sizes when using BackupPC
v3 versus doing the _very same_ backup using BackupPC v4.
Is that it?
The files that were backuped do not differ, was the system not running
between the two backups?
No temporary files - that might differ significantly in size! -
created or deleted between the run of v3 and v4? (and not being
excepted from the backups....)
I'm not aware that v4 would bring significant differences in the size
of the archives when compared with v3, but I might be wrong.
I'd try to look in some detail on the backuped files in order to spot
the differences.
Best regards,
Iosif Fettich
