Re: [BackupPC-users] Question about attrib file structure - Help needed
2008-11-21 02:55:27
Was hoping to get answers to these question to confirm the algorithm I
am using on my BackupPC_deleteFile script. I just want to make sure I
am not missing any subtleties here with the attrib files.

Is the following true:
1. If a directory is *empty*, is there any reason for it to have an
attrib file?
Because in playing around with creating and deleting directory contents, I
found that sometimes even after emptying directory contents, the
subsequent incremental backups may sometimes still have (empty)
attrib files.
2. If not, can I safely erase any (empty) attrib file that has no files
associated with it?
3. Other than type=10 (delete), is there *any* reason for an attrib
file to contain an entry for a file that is not present in the directory?
Because, I have found some attrib files on my system in past backups that
have file entries with type 0 (i.e *not* type 10) yet there is no
file present in the directory.
4. If not, can I safely *remove* any non type=10 attrib entry if the
corresponding file is not in the directory?
Thanks
