Hi,

Since I'm struggling with the same issue, I answer as well. I'm not
using any distribution packages, so /var/lib/backuppc hasn't any
special meaning. My $TopDir is (and has been) /backup/backuppc since I
started using BackupPC 2.1.0. I installed the binaries into
/backup/backuppc/BackupPC-3.1.0 using configure.pl.

I patched BackupPC_nightly slightly so it emits a log message when it
processes a pool. This is the result:

2008-04-13 06:00:01 Running 1 BackupPC_nightly jobs from 0..3 (out of 0..15)
2008-04-13 06:00:01 Running BackupPC_nightly -m 0 63 (pid=21406)
2008-04-13 06:00:01 Next wakeup is 2008-04-13 22:00:00
2008-04-13 06:00:02 Doing /backup/backuppc/pool/0/0
2008-04-13 06:00:03 Doing /backup/backuppc/pool/0/1
[... it's alright, there's nothing in the uncompressed pool ...]
2008-04-13 06:00:03 Doing /backup/backuppc/pool/3/f
2008-04-13 06:00:03 Doing /backup/backuppc/cpool/0/0
2008-04-13 06:00:03 Doing /backup/backuppc/cpool/0/1
2008-04-13 06:00:03 Doing /backup/backuppc/cpool/0/2

This is not alright since the compressed pool contains lots of files and
running BackupPC_nightly manually takes very long and actually does
something.

2008-04-13 06:00:06 Doing /backup/backuppc/cpool/3/f
2008-04-13 06:00:07 BackupPC_nightly now running BackupPC_sendEmail
2008-04-13 06:00:22 Finished  admin  (BackupPC_nightly -m 0 63)
2008-04-13 06:00:22 Pool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB
2008-04-13 06:00:22 Pool is 0.00GB, 0 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain, 0 max links), 4369 directories
2008-04-13 06:00:22 Cpool nightly clean removed 0 files of size 0.00GB
2008-04-13 06:00:22 Cpool is 0.00GB, 0 files (0 repeated, 0 max chain, 0 max links), 
4369 directories

I'll run BackupPC_nightly again so my file system doesn't fill up.

Bye,

Tino.

PS: I've just started adding debug log messages to BackupPC_nightly. Is
there an easy way to make it run other than changing
$Conf{WakeupSchedule} and waiting an hour?
