I've Googled for this and scanned the BackupPC docs and I don't see a
solution for this.
The issue is my desktop is spending hours creating huge backups on the
server. The current "incremental" backup started at 7:00 this morning
and is still running now at 12:15, and is running about 21G. Listing
the files under /mnt/backup/pc/spike/new indicates that all of the same
files in the full backup are being backed up by this incremental.
All told, the initial full backup was only 16 Gigs!
[root@adamsmdk 0]# du -s
16G .
Here's a partial directory listing (no relatively small log files, lock,
etc.) and the original full backup, plus the completed first
incremental, plus almost 5 hours worth of the today's incremental backup
amount to almost 70 Gig!
[root@adamsmdk spike]# ll
total 34904
drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc backuppc 4096 2008-12-08 14:28 0/
drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc backuppc 4096 2008-12-09 02:13 1/
drwxr-x--- 3 backuppc backuppc 4096 2008-12-10 07:00 new/
[root@adamsmdk spike]# du -s
70G .
Here is a link to the config I'm using.
ftp://adams-lan.blogdns.org/config.pl.nocomments
And my per-pc config. Some of you have seen it before:
# cat spike.pl
$Conf{TopDir} = '/mnt/attic/spike_images';
$Conf{XferMethod} = 'rsync';
$Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = ['/floppy'];
$Conf{BackupFilesOnly} = ['/mnt/spike/images', '/mnt/spike/photos'];
How did I screw this up?
