the NewFileList only contains files that are *not already in the pool* and need to be added by BackupPC_link. Any file that is already in the pool will not be listed there. > Right now, the logfile is "hung" and hasn't had any output in the last 5 > minutes. Just what is BackupPC doing during this time? Depends on XferMethod and backup type. For tar/smb and a full backup, it is probably transferring files that are unchanged. For rsync(d) and a full backup, it still needs to read all unchanged files and calculate block checksums, which will take time, even if it uses next to no bandwidth. > I thought this would solve our storage problem, but I'm afraid I cannot > spend more time on this.
