Hi all

I'm using Backuppc on an Ubuntu-server and Deltacopy on windows clients.

How do you call DeltaCopy from the Backuppc Server?

With Rsync. XferMethod = rsyncd

The incremental backup runs inludes all files, but only every other day.

What did you mean with "but only every other day" ?

Well, not every incremental run backs up all files. For example on host eddie ,see beow, incr backup# 333 is ok but 334 is not, it touches all files, and I believe it shouldn't? I mean I know all of these files haven't changed.

The backups on the local host (the ubuntu machine) seems fine and only
includes all files on full runs. What can cause this and how can I fix it?

Thanks!

Example from Backuppc summary:

Host Eddie, windows vista
                  Totals
Backup#     Type     #Files     Size/MB
330         full     10688     46450.7
333         incr     83          989.3
334         incr     10693     46653.7
335         incr     1787       1442.2
336         full     12435     47538.2
337         incr     107        1319.4
338         incr     12429     47477.1
339         incr     106        1319.6

In my point of view it looks like all is fine :-O
The incr backup touch less than 1% of the files.

I disagree, compare 333 and 334. 334 shouldn't backup that many files I think.

Host hotblack, windows xp
                  Totals
Backup#     Type     #Files     Size/MB
246         full     47339      26320.9
248         incr     46928      25978.3
249         incr     835         1790.9
250         incr     47289      26272.6
251         full     47648      26367.8
252         incr     655         1436.9
253         incr     47814      26361.2
254         incr     1139        1941.8

I have the same point of view as for Host Eddie.

Again, I disagree, compare 249 and 250 for example.

Local host, Ubuntu
                  Totals
Backup#     Type     #Files     Size/MB
498         full     81566      50782.2
500         incr        14          1.4
501         incr         0          0.0
502         incr         0          0.0
503         incr        57         16.6
504         incr        16          0.7
505         full     81672      50872.0
506         incr         3        376.7

Local host though is all fine.
