Re: [BackupPC-users] Upgrade BackupPC 2.1.2 to 3.2.1
Hi,
I have now updated to 3.2.1 and have (at least) one issue.
On the Status-Page in the GUI I see the following:
# Other info:
...
* Pool is 0.00GB comprising files and directories (as of 2011-09-04 15:47),
* Pool hashing gives repeated files with longest chain ,
* Nightly cleanup removed 0 files of size 0.00GB (around 2011-09-04 15:47),
* Pool file system was recently at 38% (2011-09-04 15:39), today's max is
38% (2011-09-04 15:06) and yesterday's max was %.
As you can see it says that the Pool is 0.00GB. This can not be correct as
there are data in the pool and I can do a restore. Even after a backup does it
say 0.00GB.
Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
Regards,

BackupPC 2.1.2 to 3.2.1]:
In Gentoo BackupPC 3.2.1 has just gone stable and I want to upgrade from
2.1.2, and have some questions.
Will 3.2.1 use the same configfiles as 2.1.2 (do I have to rewrite all my
configfiles)?
yes (no). Though there are some new variables in config.pl, so you might
want or need to merge your local changes into the new config.pl.
Will 3.2.1 use the same filesystem structure as 2.1.2 (can I restor a
file backed up with 2.1.2 with 3.2.1)?
Yes (yes).
Are there some gotchas with this upgrade?
In general, if you've installed a distribution package of BackupPC, it's up
to the package to handle upgrades (you *did* previously install version
2.1.2 from a package, too, right?).
As far as the upstream BackupPC code is concerned, there should be no
issues with the upgrade. For the Gentoo package, I have no idea. In
theory, it *could* introduce problems (like moving the pool location;
however, with 3.2.1 you could just set $Conf{TopDir} in config.pl to work
around that). If you want a definite answer, you'll have to ask in a
Gentoo forum (or, of course, read the source ;-).

Holger

Any suggestions on what could be wrong? The statistics you see are from the BackupPC_nightly run. Could be some internal format has changed there. If you updated just this morning and then checked backup/restore, the nightly statistics wheren't done yet. Wait a day and these should be okay too. Or you are mixing compressed and uncompressed pool statistics.
