it does (well, at least the log file contains the data):

2011-09-12 02:39:16 Cpool nightly clean removed 233720 files of size 42.78GB
2011-09-12 02:39:16 Cpool is 1346.20GB, 1022043 files (145 repeated, 27 max
chain, 23731 max links), 4369 directories
This means it claims to recently have deleted 42.78 GB worth of pool files
(which may be the portion of your 300 GB that was not shared with other
backups).
Here are the parameters asked:
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [
'1',
[...]
];
$Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs} = '2';
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = '1';
That looks good. BackupPC_nightly should be running at 1:00 a.m. Your log file
seems to confirm this (assuming it takes about 100 minutes to complete, which
seems fair):
as for the log, my guess is it is running, but not doing what it
supposed to:
2011-09-12 02:38:31 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail
2011-09-12 02:39:16 Finished admin (BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127)
2011-09-12 02:39:16 Pool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB
2011-09-12 02:39:16 Pool is 0.00GB, 0 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain, 0
max links), 1 directories
2011-09-12 02:39:16 Cpool nightly clean removed 233720 files of size 42.78GB
2011-09-12 02:39:16 Cpool is 1346.20GB, 1022043 files (145 repeated, 27
max chain, 23731 max links), 4369 directories
I can't find anything strange about this. Can you confirm that the 42.78 GB
have been freed (note that they may have been - partly - reused by following
backups)? Have you got reason to be *sure* more than that would have been
unique to this backup (plus the dependant incrementals)? When did you remove
the 300 GB? Was it before 2011-09-11 01:00:00? If so, what did the following
nightly run (next 1:00 a.m. or slightly later) report?
and version: 3.2.0 on ubuntu server.
The downside of pooling is that you need to remove all instances using one
pool file to actually get back the space. The downside of compression is that
you only get back the compressed size. All of that is not surprising, but it
makes estimations really hard. In particular, what you get back from deleting
a backup is not necessarily the same amount of space it took to store the
backup when it was done. It all depends on which files are (and were) shared
with earlier and later backups.
Hope that helps.

Holger

the title of your message says BackupPC is not running. Presuming you mean
this as in BackupPC is not running, then it is not surprising it is not
freeing up the space. Start BackupPC. The nightly cleanup will free the space.
It is run on the first wakeup listed in $Conf {WakeupSchedule}. What
are the following variables set to in config.pl?
$Conf {WakeupSchedule}
$Conf {MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs}
$Conf {BackupPCNightlyPeriod}
Which version of BackupPC are you using? Do the log files show that the
nightly cleanup is run regularly (as in each night)?

Holger

Re: [BackupPC-users] bakuppc is not running.
ok, let me try and ask my question a deferent way.
when i did du on a full backup folder of a spesific pc i saw it to be 300GB.
i then run the script i mentioned and it not only removed the full
backup but its coresponding incornly backups, which is quite logical.
however, the free space on my backup drive was not changed and was not
added the 300+GB that was deleted by the script.
now, i have at the very least would expect that backuppc will run a
cleanup or as you say nightly cleanup, will free some space.
however, it looks like nightly was not running at all, new backups were
not taken, and i have to find something on this drive to delete in order
to make it at least continue to backup.
now, it has run a backup, but still not freeing space.
my question is where has the deleted backups gone to, and how to run the
nightly cleanup manually in a spesific mode that will actually free some
space for me?
Here are the parameters asked:
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [
'1',
'2',
'3',
'4',
'5',
'6',
'7',
'8',
'9',
'10',
'11',
'12',

'14',
'15',

'17',

'19',
'20',
'21',
'22',
'23'

$Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs} = '2';
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = '1';
as for the log, my guess is it is running, but not doing what it
supposed to:
