Re: [BackupPC-users] Possible BackupPC_dump problem
2008-11-23 13:55:19
Thanks for the prompt response.
Unfortunately, the file in question is still on the machine. If I look in the backup history from the interface, it has some rather odd results.
This is from backup set 14-20, with backup 14 being a full backup.
Every other backup shows that the file was not present in the backupset. The backup after a file does not show up will again have the file listed in the backup set correctly.
When I browse the backup sets with the web interface, the backups that show the file as deleted do in fact not have it listed. The next backup will look fine.

/data/BackupPC/pc/pcname/20 | The odd backups are the ones that are showing the problems. What I found as odd was the times were so much shorter for the backup.
This behavior is showing up on every machine that is being backed up. Originally I ran into this problem with version 3.0.0 of BackupPC. I upgraded to BackupPC 3.1.0 and started with another full and then incremental and had the same results

This is not a bug but a feature!
It's exactly correct.
The type=10 key signals that the file has been deleted and all the other
attribute keys are set to zero since they have no meaning.
If you didn't have such a "blocking" entry, then previous versions of
the file would show through, since files otherwise inherit the
visibility of previous incremental backups.
