Hello,
my perl knowledge is very minimal, so I am unable to use poolCnt files

As I said in my previous email, I'd recommend using the poolCnt files since
they accurately reflect what is being stored for each host. But it will
take a bit more coding. You can look in some of the BackupPC utilities
(eg: BackupPC_refCountUpdate) for examples of how to read the poolCnt files.
Hello,
trying to make a script, which can count backup size, but without success
yet. I can parse XferLOG, extract sizes, identify links, but after summary
some backups have zero or almost zero size. Looks like this happens, when

Craig - agree with your perspective... and would welcome any user who
is willing to contribute code that extends your fantastic backup software...

I've tried to suggest a couple of reasons that could explain what you are

Without you confirming what the issue actually is, your conclusion is
already that it's "absolutely buggy" and "useless". To pick another

thanks for explanation, but how I can check in backuppc, which user
uses how much disk space of my backuppc storage? This way File Size counter

I need to check, which backup uses most of my space and need to find,

That file is a hardlink, not a symlink. In the backup stats, each instance
of a hardlink is counted towards the total file size.
If your file system has a lot of hardlinks, perhaps that's why the reported
number is higher than you expect?

There is no one large file. As I
Does your backup include sparse files?
Look in the XferLOG file to see the sizes of individual files - it
shouldn't be too hard to spot one that is large.
