ok, let me try and ask my question a deferent way.
when i did du on a full backup folder of a spesific pc i saw it to be 300GB.
i then run the script i mentioned and it not only removed the full
backup but its coresponding incornly backups, which is quite logical.
however, the free space on my backup drive was not changed and was not
added the 300+GB that was deleted by the script.
now, i have at the very least would expect that backuppc will run a
"cleanup" or as you say nightly cleanup, will free some space.
however, it looks like nightly was not running at all, new backups were
not taken, and i have to find something on this drive to delete in order
to make it at least continue to backup.
now, it has run a backup, but still not freeing space.
my question is where has the deleted backups gone to, and how to run the
nightly cleanup manually in a spesific mode that will actually free some
space for me?
Here are the parameters asked:
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} = [
'1',
'2',
'3',
'4',
'5',
'6',
'7',
'8',
'9',
'10',
'11',
'12',
'13',
'14',
'15',
'16',
'17',
'18',
'19',
'20',
'21',
'22',
'23'
];
$Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs} = '2';
$Conf{BackupPCNightlyPeriod} = '1';
as for the log, my guess is it is running, but not doing what it
supposed to:
2011-09-12 02:38:31 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail
2011-09-12 02:39:16 Finished admin (BackupPC_nightly -m 0 127)
