Re: [BackupPC-users] Upgrade BackupPC 2.1.2 to 3.2.1

[Dan J. <Dan...@dm...>]

Hi,

I have now updated to 3.2.1 and have (at least) one issue.

On the Status-Page in the GUI I see the following:

# Other info:
   ...
    * Pool is 0.00GB comprising files and directories (as of 2011-09-04 15:47),
    * Pool hashing gives repeated files with longest chain ,
    * Nightly cleanup removed 0 files of size 0.00GB (around 2011-09-04 15:47),
    * Pool file system was recently at 38% (2011-09-04 15:39), today's max is 
38% (2011-09-04 15:06) and yesterday's max was %. 

As you can see it says that the Pool is 0.00GB. This can not be correct as 
there are data in the pool and I can do a restore. Even after a backup does it 
say 0.00GB.

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

Regards,
