I recently upgraded my ARM plug computer from an ancient version of Ubuntu to Debian Squeeze running backuppc 3.1.0. Everything seemed to be going well until yesterday when a full backup of a relatively quiet server downloaded 1.5 GB of data. The original full backup seven days ago was only 2.3 GB and incremental backups have been around 152 MB. When I checked the logs, there were 47 'create' entries adding up to about 300 MB (I excluded 'create d' entries) while the rest were 'pool' and 'same'. The 300 MB includes some double-counting since the backup failed (probably connectivity problems) and restarted. This reminded me of a problem with File::RsyncP on ARM processes that Craig fixed back in 2010. I was not able to verify the File::RsyncP version level (probably 0.68) but used CPAN to upgrade File::RsyncP to version 0.70. The incremental backup this morning finished in half the time of previous incremental backups which is encouraging. I am in the process of upgrading another ARM plug computer from Debian Squeeze to Debian Wheezy. It looks like Wheezy comes with File::RsyncP 0.70 and backuppc 3.2.1. Regards, Norbert |
