Do you know how to get the file/backup#/host from a pool file reference that was reported missing in the log? That detail would certainly help speed up my analysis and potential recovery.
I think if it were my pool, I'd want to start from first principles. That would mean looking at "The hashing function" in the BackupPC documentation: https://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#BackupPC-Design and scripting something with 'find', 'md5sum' (and in my case Perl, but it doesn't have to be that way - you could use 'cut' etc.) to (1) produce md5sums for all files which are dear to me; (2) check in the pool that those files exist and maybe even (3) look at a few of them to see if they make any sense. Many of the missing files might not matter very much at all, it will be a lot less work if you can narrow it down to a small number of the files and/or directories which you really care about. Start with the most important, and work down until you're happy (or exhausted:). Or you could start all over again with a new pool... -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki Project: https://backuppc.github.io/backuppc/
