Did a script, largely based on BackupPC_deleteBackup by Matthias Meyer
I'm not pro, but i'm sure it won't harm your files, but still, take it as
is.
see
./BackupPC_listChangedFiles -h
It can be used like this, for example
sudo /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_listChangedFiles -c portatil -n 35
|grep log
or
sudo /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_listChangedFiles -c portatil -n 35
|awk '{print $3}'
and try
sudo /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_listChangedFiles -c -l

Re: [BackupPC-users] Incremental backup: What files changed?
Thank you, Jeffrey
But again, I'm counting lines starting with " create" in the backup log. No
attrib files there.

I believe that empty directories do not have an attrib file in
them. Perhaps this explains the parity results...

The count not only including directories but also the files "attrib". One in
each directory.
I believe your counting (19491 Total files, 10 regular files) can't be
correct. Regular files must be an odd number because count of directories
and attrib files must be an even number.
You can do a "ls -R /var/lib/backuppc/pc//"

Right. I guess the command gives a good start to see what fles changed, if it is accurate. Then I can check the directory, even get the previous version and make a diff.

For any particular directory you can click the 'history' link while browsing
the
backup and see which versions of each file appear in each of your available
backups. But this is cumbersome if you want to recurse through a large tree.

[BackupPC-users] Incremental backup: What files changed?
I was trying to get a way to find what files have changed in an incremental
backup.
Does any one has a solution for it already?
I've look at /var/lib/backuppc/pc//backups and to the XferLOG, but i'm
getting nowhere.
I did a manual incremental a few minutes after another, and I get:
> echo -e " n type\tFiles\tExist\tNew\tlevel"; \
awk '{print $1," ",$2,"\t",$5,"\t",$7,"\t",$9,"\t",$21}'
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/portatil/backups
n typeFilesExistNewlevel
35 incr 36 27 43 4
Those are the numbers that appears on the GUI. How they relate (or if) with
each other I don't know. (btw, It's a level 4 incremental following a level
3)
But if I count the "create" files on XferLOG.35.z I get *19491* files (15
pool, 11 same, 0 skip, 0 delete).
> /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/portatil/XferLOG.35.z |grep -c "^ create"
Don't know where to go from here.
Really appreciate any help.
EDIT: I look better to the log and its almost all directories
If I exclude directories, I have 10 create (9 regular, 1 p), 15 pool (10
reg, 3 c, 2 l), 11 same. Create files are logs and pid, as expected.
> /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_zcat
/var/lib/backuppc/pc/portatil/XferLOG.31.z |grep "^ create" |grep -v "^
create d"
Did some tests with other log files and it looks reasonable. Although it
don't show what directories were created, its a start. How it relates with
backups file values beats me.
Any one as a better solution, please? Thanks.
