Hi all,
To all developers and other contributors on this list: Thank you for
contributing to BackupPC.
My client's BackupPC server's 1TB backup-storage RAID array is almost
out of space (96% full). He's running BackupPC 3.1.0 on Ubuntu. The
server backs up perhaps a few dozen hosts. It's set to keep at least
one full backup and at least sixty incremental backups per host.
1. I guessed that IncrFill was a good way to save space: this way
only one full would be stored per machine. Was I right? Is IncrFill
the best way to save space?
2. I enabled this a few hours ago and manually ran BackupPC_nightly
but the server hasn't filled any incrementals. Is there a reasonably
easy way to force it to fill the incrementals? (Otherwise I may just
set it not to keep any incrementals: I figure that should make
BackupPC discard all of them, perhaps right after I reload the config
file.)
Thanks in advance,
Jason Spiro
