Hi, I'm just starting to use rdiff-backup, and I am noticing that the backup size is larger than the original. This is my first run of this backup, so I was expecting it to be about the same size.
Any ideas why this might be? I'm running : # rdiff-backup --exclude-other-filesystems --exclude-device-files ... ... I think there is a cache directory in there somewhere, but that probably doesn't account for increasing size. We have several scratchbox environments and cruisecontrol inside them. I think the 'exclude-device-files' should exclude device files in them, and 'exclude-other-filesystems' should avoid their '/proc' filesystems, I think. I calculate the sizes using 'du -sk' and 'df -k' Anyone have any advice? Max. _______________________________________________ rdiff-backup-users mailing list at [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/rdiff-backup-users Wiki URL: http://rdiff-backup.solutionsfirst.com.au/index.php/RdiffBackupWiki
