Re: [BackupPC-users] Tar method - deleted files workaround

[Chris A. <chr...@mc...>]

I realized this wont fix the problem of renames. My second thought on this would be to develop a new transfer method that uses rsync initially to get a file listing and then construct a list of files that need to be transferred. Then you pass this to the tar method and use this rather than the -newer option of tar. This would solve both the deletion and rename problem of incremental tar.

You could use a combination of $Conf{DumpPostUserCmd}<http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/BackupPC.html#_conf_dumppreusercmd_> and BackupPC_deleteFile<http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/backuppc/index.php?title=BackupPC_DeleteFile> to accomplish this.

As a workaround for the tar method not detecting deletions on localhost backups, would it be possible to write a script that is run after each incremental to perform a file listing on the source directory and compare that to the list of backed up files and delete those in the backup that are no longer in the source directory. I realize this is a workaround and would only be appropriate for localhost backups but it wouldn't be a bad solution since incrementals are quick, run when no one is using the system and it would make the full backups much faster than rsyncd.
