[BackupPC-users] No "New Files"

[Chris D. <cgd...@bt...>]

Hello BackupPC people

I've been running BackupPC for a few years, backing up assorted machines 
on my home network.

Recently I've noticed that it no longer reports any "New Files" in the 
File Size/Count Reuse Summary.

Here's a typical table (edited, removing the Totals columns, to make it 
fit):

                  Existing Files        New Files
Backup# Type    #Files 	 Size/MB    #Files    Size/MB

698     incr     65254     822.4                  0.0

Backup 618 is dated 9 Feb 2010, no. 645 is dated 9 March 2010.  Did 
something change between those two dates?

I've also noticed apparent discrepancies in the server status:

# Pool is 264.30GB comprising 1735933 files and 4369 directories (as of 
22/5 01:56),
# Pool hashing gives 315 repeated files with longest chain 5,
# Nightly cleanup removed 14 files of size 0.02GB (around 22/5 01:56),
# Pool file system was recently at 89% (22/5 11:37), today's max is 91% 
(22/5 02:54) and yesterday's max was 91%.

The nightly cleanup doesn't seem to remove as much as I'd expect -- I 
deleted several large (> 1GB) files from all backups of some of the 
hosts yesterday, but that hasn't shown up in the nightly cleanup.

The server is running Ubuntu 10.04 with BackupPC 3.1.0.  It was upgraded 
from Ubuntu 9.10 recently -- at about the time of backup no. 692.  That 
upgrade didn't involve a major change of version number for BackupPC.

Is there a way to force BackupPC to thoroughly re-evaluate the backup 
pool and recalculate all its statistics?

cheers

Chris
