I have been using flexbackup for several years including my former life
managing about 100 servers. I'm now in the process of switching my main
desk top to Linux Mint 19.1. When I perform a level 1 backup of my home
directory from my flexbackup server the level 1 is almost as large as
the level zero. Looking at the contents of the level 1 tar file shows
many files that shouldn't have been backed up.
I've manually performed the find command on the client and it seems to
be more reasonable. Performing the find command from the server using
ssh also seems reasonable.
Additional notes: The client file system is on an ssd mounted with noatime.
I use flexbackup targeting a motley collection of systems including
debian and linux mint on several Intel based systems, several systems
running Raspian on Raspberry PIs, and a few systems running bananian on
first generation Banana PIs. This is the first time I've encountered any
problems.
The server is running bananian 160401 based on debian 8.11. the version
of flexbackup is 1.2.1.
If I was only keeping local copies of the backups on the server this
wouldn't be a big deal but the wrapper script I use in production
replicates all backups with encryption to Amazon's Commercial cloud.
Bytes start to cost money!.
