Package: backuppc
Version: 3.1.0-1~bpo40+1
Severity: normal
Hello,
We use BackupPC for quite a few years, and recently we upgraded from
version 2.x to 3.x. Now I noticed that we backup useless stuff like
/tmp, /var/spool/squid, which we did not backup before.
We backup with rsync (over ssh) and put excludes into
$Conf{RsyncArgs} = [
... (default options) ...
'--one-file-system',
'--exclude=/var/spool/squid/',
'--exclude=/spool/squid/',
'--exclude=/tmp/',
'--exclude=*.mp3',
'--exclude=*.ogg',
'--exclude=*.avi',
'--exclude=*.mpg',
... (more excludes)...
];
We do not use $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} = {}; option.
I noticed that things in /var/tmp and /var/spool/squid are backed up. And
interestingly only in incremental backups, while full backups are OK
(excludes work as expected only in full dump). Here is example of
XferLog (errors only) for full dump:
