Yes. I expect the files to be removed in the current backup. Not in the backups already done.
I checked the transferlog "/var/lib/backuppc/pc/devel-w8/XferLOG.77" and I'm surprised: Running: /usr/libexec/backuppc-rsync/rsync_bpc --bpc-top-dir /var/lib/backuppc --bpc-host-name devel-w8 --bpc-share-name C --bpc-bkup-num 79 --bpc-bkup-comp 0 --bpc-bkup-prevnum 78 --bpc-bkup- prevcomp 0 --bpc-bkup-inode0 418166 --bpc-log-level 0 --bpc-attrib-new --numeric-ids --protect-args --perms --acls --xattrs --owner --group --times -D --links --hard-links --recursive --partial --one- file-system --delete --timeout=21600 --contimeout=300 --log-format=log:\ %o\ %i\ %B\ %8U,%8G\ %9l\ %f%L --port=10030 --password-file=/var/lib/backuppc/pc/devel-w8/.rsyncdpw722090 -- exclude=pagefile.sys --exclude=hiberfil.sys --exclude=swapfile.sys --exclude=/System\ Volume\ Information --exclude=/RECYCLER --exclude=/\$Recycle.Bin --exclude=/\$RECYCLE.BIN -- exclude=/\$Windows.~BT --exclude=/\$WINDOWS.~BT --exclude=Temporary\* --exclude=/MSOCache -- exclude=Thumbs.db --exclude=IconCache.db --exclude=\*-BMR.iso --exclude=/proc backuppc@devel-w8.mybackup::C / full backup started for directory C : log: recv >f......... rwxr-xr-x 18, DEFAULT 335 Users/Default/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/System Tools/computer.lnk log: recv .d..t...... rwxr-x--- 18, DEFAULT 0 Users/Public/Desktop log: recv >f..t...... rw-rw---- 197646, DEFAULT 369659 Users/Public/Desktop/Backup4U-BMR.pdf log: recv >f.s....... rwxrwx--- 18, DEFAULT 135168 Users/meyer/ntuser.dat.LOG2 unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored unpack_smb_acl: warning: duplicate MASK entry ignored rsync: [sender] get_xattr_names: llistxattr("Windows.old/Users/Backup4U.Devel-W8/Anwendungsdaten" (in C),1024) failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync: [sender] get_xattr_names: llistxattr("Windows.old/Users/Backup4U.Devel-W8/Cookies" (in C),1024) failed: No such file or directory (2) The path "Users/meyer" occur only once in the transfer log but "Users/meyer/Documents" hold the removed files, not removed from current backup.
