BackupPC has been covering up my stupid mistakes since 2005.
Fortunately, I have never done the 'rm -r *' until last week. Good thing
was that I was in my home directory so the system itself was untouched
and I caught myself before too much could get deleted.
'Not a problem!' I thought. I will just restore from last night's backup
and be on my way. I selecting the missing files and directories, started
the restore, and went for a walk. When I got back things were in a sorry
state. My ~/Downloads directory was has filled up my drive included
stuff that had been deleted 5 years ago.
Am I misunderstanding how fill works? I though it was filled from the
last backup going back to the last non-filled backup. Instead it looks
like it is pulling everything it has ever backed up.
I am running BackupPC-4.4.0-1.el8.x86_64.
Thank you.
