Package: backuppc
Version: 3.2.1-5.1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
(I experienced this a few months back, not sure if it would still occur,
but the upstream version doesn't seem to have changed since then, so...)
So, one of my hard drives appears to be getting somewhat moody. Yeah, I
should get a new one, but couldn't be bothered yet. But at least I'm
taking backups, right? And I'm using BackupPC's rsync method. The
BackupPC configuration I use keeps old backups for about 1-2 weeks,
it seems.
>From time to time, some random file of mine starts getting I/O errors
(which can usually be fixed by rewriting the file or running fsck
or whatever). But I might only discover the problem a few weeks later.
So then I go "Hmm, fsck couldn't recover the file... but wait! I've got
backups! I'll try restoring the file." Except... the file isn't in the
backups either.
In my opinion, if BackupPC has successfully backed up a file sometime
in the past, it shouldn't go removing it from its backups just because
it now gets I/O errors reading it. As long as BackupPC sees that the file
is still there (not deleted), just unreadable, it should keep the old copy
it has from previous backups or something, so that I don't lose the file.
(If I can't rely on my backup solution keeping my files safe, what good
does it do me?)
