Are you saying that your full backup, 666, contains files that *were*
not in your local directory at the time of the backup?

Hi,
I have BackupPC 4.x running on a Debian system. Works like a champ
since years now.
One of my clients is an Apple Mac with current up-to-date MacOS. rsync
is installed:
username@macos Documents % rsync --version
rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29

So far it works fine. It does the backupsand all is good. I am backing
up the Users-Folder as "$RsyncShareName": "/Users/username" and
excluded some unneeded directories.
See macos.pl:
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = 1;
$Conf{RsyncShareName} = [
'/Users/username'
];
$Conf{RsyncSshArgs} = [
'-e',
'$sshPath -l username'
];
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {
'/Users/username/.Trash' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Accounts' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Application Support' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Assistant' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Autosave Information' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Biome' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Caches' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Containers' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Cookies' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/CoreFollowUps' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/Group Containers' => [
''
],
'/Users/username/Library/HomeKit' => [
''
]
};
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
'--super',
'--recursive',
'--numeric-ids',
'--perms',
'--owner',
'--group',
'-D',
'--times',
'--links',
'--hard-links',
'--delete',
'--delete-excluded',
'--one-file-system',
'--partial',
'--log-format=log: %o %i %B %8U,%8G %9l %f%L',
'--stats',
'-z',
'-v'
];
Now I took a look at BackupPC and was going to the last backup
(through "Browse backups"). I see the last succesful backup from today.
But when I compare the files in the backup with the ones existing on
my MacOS there is a hughe difference!
There are so many additional file in the backup which I already
deleted weeks, if not months ago!
This is the list of the current backups until the last full one:
669
<http://backuppc41.knebb.de/backuppc/index.cgi?action=browse&host=cvoelker&num=669>
incr yes 1 2023-11-13 23:17 72.8 0.9

full yes 0 2023-11-08 23:49 710.0 5.8
Checking my local directory I do not see many of the files (As I have
them deleted months ago!).
Why do I have files in my backupc which do not exist on the backed up
client?
Thanks for ideas!
