Re: [BackupPC-users] Pool size discrepancy?

Thanks for the reply.

At this time, it looks like faulty reporting on the NAS (big surprise). I ran a bunch of "du -sh" on TopDir/pc and TopDir/cpool and then the TopDir itself with the same results, so it looks like pooling/compression is doing it's thing.

Just that my NAS apparently isn't hardlinks-aware. Time to do more digging on that end.

This is telling you how much information was actually backed up.

This is telling you how much room BackupPC is using to store it after
compression and pooling.

Is there anything else on that NFS share other than the BackupPC pool?
