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.

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
Thanks,

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.
