I have 1/2 dozen of these errors in the main BackupPC Log file.

Run: I found the following recommendations:

BackupPC_refCountUpdate -m -f -c

*Questions:*
1) Is this the proper tool to address this type of error?
if not what would be the better tool?

2) How long will it take using the tool?
I understand this is a function of the speed of the machine and disk
subsystem.
I prefer that BackupPC is not shutdown for days.

Can the tool be run by host?

My BackupPC data store is 3.1TB
There are 470 Backups/


Thank you in advance for your help.
