Hello Jim,
here I have the logs from two different hosts, each backed up with v3 and v4.
Unfortunately, both hosts have been set up in BackupPC for a while, so they are
not completely fresh backups.
However, I don't think that should make a difference. You can see that despite
identical numbers of files, the backups have significant differences in size.
HOST A
v3
2022-12-12 10:15:15 full backup started for directory / (baseline backup #4521)
2022-12-12 10:17:31 full backup 4522 complete, 75368 files, 4031524511 bytes, 1
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 1 other)
Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/var/spool/exim4/input/1p4eu4-0002rf-1f-D"
v4
2022-12-12 10:15:28 full backup started for directory /
2022-12-12 10:17:19 full backup 38 complete, 75368 files, 5279057447 bytes, 0
xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 0 other)
HOST B
v3
2022-12-05 20:00:07 full backup started for directory / (baseline backup #1612)
2022-12-05 22:10:15 full backup 1613 complete, 554199 files, 151127936698
bytes, 2 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 2 other)
Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/mnt/system/tmp/cron-apt.klojST/initlog"
Remote[2]: file has vanished: "/tmp/cron-apt.klojST/initlog"
v4
2022-12-05 20:16:24 incr backup started for directory /
2022-12-05 20:49:47 incr backup 13 complete, 554199 files, 231723535659 bytes,
0 xferErrs (0 bad files, 0 bad shares, 0 other)
The output of the XferLOG seems to be very different between v3 and v4, so I
have omitted this one. Should I post this afterwards?
Greetings
Stefan

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?
Thanks to all!
Stefan,
Can you post the exact contents of the backup summary from a specific backup
xferlog. For example I've posted the summary of backup # 59 from my xferlog
following here:
>
Xfer PIDs are now
full backup 59 complete, 100171 files, 7590653598 bytes, 0 xferErrs (0 bad
files, 0 bad shares, 0 other)
BackupExpire: cntFull = 4, cntIncr = 2, firstFull = 0, firstIncr = 2,
oldestIncr = 54.8124652777778, oldestFull = 85.274849537037
Removing unfilled backup 56
Xfer PIDs are now 492118
<
That way we get a fuller picture in a format that is familiar to us all.
Jim
