Hi,

at begining, here is my hdup.conf

---- hdup.conf ----

[global]
archive dir =3D /home/backup/
date spec =3D iso
always backup =3D on
skip =3D on
force =3D no
overwrite =3D on
user =3D operator
compression =3D gzip
compression level =3D 9
exclude =3D lost\+found/, /proc/, /dev/, /sys/
nobackup =3D .nobackup
free =3D 100m
one filesystem =3D on
algorithm =3D gpg
key =3D mykey
log =3D yes

[bender]
dir =3D /boot, /home, /var/lib/postgres/data, /var/lib/mysql, /root, /etc, =
/usr/local/etc, /var/spool/vpopmail, /var/lib/qmail
exclude =3D /home/www/[^/]+/(include|lib|apache|bin|sbin|man|domains)/,/hom=
e/www/domains/.*/galeries/
---- end ----

I have more chrooted apaches and it is placed in /home/www/ and they
have mounted /home/www/domains dir into them, so they can operate on
one directory. This is why I must exclude /home/www/[^/]/domains -
one filesystem =3D on doesn't working here :(

It looks like that exclude works good and when I use grep -z on
filelist I can't find any of excluded things. So - everything ok.

But after four days, here is size of my logs:

5,3G    2005-09-05	monthly
5,6G    2005-09-06	weekly
5,9G    2005-09-07	daily
12G     2005-09-08	daily
24G     2005-09-09	daily

First daily is maybe ok, but second is twice bigger then first and
third is twice bigger than second :(

If I grep some inclist, I can see here also files which i excluded
=66rom backup. Is this ok? Is this inclist compared with filelist and
only matched files will be backuped? If yes, does anybody know why
are backups bigger and bigger even if there are nearly no changes?

Thanks for answer, backuping is critical for my system, so I need
this working...

Oouch... I once again reviewed thinks and=20

$ grep -z /home/backup etc/filelist | sed -u -e 's/\o000/\n/g'
/home/backup
/home/backup/bender
/home/backup/bender/LOCK
/home/backup/bender/2005-09-09

/home/backup/bender/etc
/home/backup/bender/etc/inclist.daily
/home/backup/bender/etc/filelist
/home/backup/bender/etc/inclist.monthly
/home/backup/bender/etc/inclist.weekly

I think this is it. Why is /home/backup included in filelist if i
have "skip =3D on" in my config???

Again thanks for answers, i try to add /home/backup to exclude as
temporary solution.=20
