Hi, thanks for your answer. With respect to your questions:
1. can you post the lines following 'Maximum free size required is ...' from
the last incremental and last full backup ran.
I'm not sure where I should look for this... sorry. I've looked in /var/log and
in the log in the backup folder, but haven't found the lines. Any help finding
it would be appreciated.
2. how long did the backup took regularly.
Generally the full backup is done in about 20', I'd say, and the incremental in
less that 5'.
3. can you post the approx. filesize of the 'files.snar' located in the backup
dirs.
files.snar in a full backup weighs 1.9 Mo.
4. what are your machine specicfications (cpu, ram).
CPU details are posted here (from sudo lshw):
description: CPU
product: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2600+
vendor: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD]
physical id: 5
bus info: c...@0
version: 6.10.0
slot: Socket A
size: 1916MHz
capacity: 3GHz
width: 32 bits
clock: 166MHz
and RAM details here:
*-memory
description: System Memory
physical id: 1d
slot: System board or motherboard
size: 1280MiB
capacity: 2GiB
*-bank:0
description: DIMM
product: None
vendor: None
physical id: 0
serial: None
slot: A0
size: 1GiB

*-bank:1
description: DIMM
product: None
vendor: None
physical id: 1
serial: None
slot: A1
size: 256MiB
width: 64 bits
I'm backing-up to a personalized directory on a second internal hard disk
(something sbackup didn't easily allow), in gzip format, including /home,
excluding files >100Mo. I've scheduled a daily incremental backup with simple
cut-off at >16 days and purging activated. I can confirm that python doesn't
run indefinitely but does, eventually, stop. I'd like, ideally, to run a full
backup, then a series of incrementals, then another full backup, discarding
everything older than the most recent full backup.
A full backup directory, in my case, only weighs about 8.3Go, by the way.
Thanks again for your time and help. Best, G.R.
