#33 Handle file system full
Hi,
reoback does stop backup runs whenever the filesystem containing the temporary tar.gz files is full.
However, it does not remote its temporary files containing the include and exclude list of backup files.
When the next run starts, these files are being appended the new list of files. This means after the second day, all the files are backed up twice, after the third three times and so on.
Basically, backups will never finish because the backup run will eventually take longer than 24 hours, then the next reoback process starts (at least in my setup).
The tmp/ files should be truncated for the new run, not appended.
I agree, as I had the same issue... a fun file "/home/backup/reoback/tmphome.incl" that contained:
/home
/home
/home
/home
/home
/home
/home
/home
/home
/home
/home
/home
clearly not needed...
