ok -

I performed the update without any problem using BackupPC_migrateV3toV4 to create a hybrid environment.  I tested the changes and restores worked perfect.  Now many days on I find the attrib files are missing from the pool.

For giggles I decided to restore another file as a test, oh my!  Not there in the web gui.  So I check it out from the CLI:

ls:

attrib_1a0fbad6ac18950b56ec27f5884c5481  <-- it's here! (So I thought)

so I BackupPC_attribPrint:

BackupPC_attribPrint: cannot read attrib file attrib_1a0fbad6ac18950b56ec27f5884c5481 (1a0fbad6ac18950b56ec27f5884c5481)  <-- Much sadness

So I check, ls /var/lib/backuppc/cpool/1a/0e/1a0fbad6ac18950b56ec27f5884c5481:

ls: cannot access /var/lib/backuppc/cpool/1a/0e/1a0fbad6ac18950b56ec27f5884c5481: No such file or directory  <- more sadness

I know the files were there after the initial conversion, so some sort of maintenance must have removed them.  I'm going to revert to an earlier snapshot, convert a v3 backup, test a restore, and wait until tomorrow to see if the files are still there.

Can anyone else check this and confirm?

Cheers!
