Hi list,

I save my backuppc data dir once a day with the backup-manager to an
external storage to have a second backup if something unforeseeable appears.

I always do the full backup of the three machines from Friday to Saturday in
the night and afterwards the backup-manager backups the whole
/var/lib/backup directory.

So my master backup is
- machine 1: 10/30 01:37        
- machine 2: 10/30 02:30
- machine 3: 10/30 01:30

And it will be this night.

But I habe some strange behavior in the backup of the backup-manager:
#ls -l *

    63655063  5. Nov 10:18 var-lib-backuppc.incremental.bin

The output is a little bit shortened. The CPool in Bytes is at 52.57 GB at
the moment. Today in the night there were only incremental backups with:
- machine 1: 210.9 MB
- machine 2: 1861.4 MB
- machine 3: 32.5 MB

But why is the backup of today 34 GB huge? I thought, if there is something
like a time to live for the hard links, then I have an explanation. But I
don't find anything in the configuration.

Thanks for any hint.

Kind regards

Alexander Maringer
