Backup Central

Hi,

I receive this message from my BackupPC server:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following hosts had an error that is probably caused by a
misconfiguration.  Please fix these hosts:

  - XXXXXXXX (Child exited prematurely)
  - XXXXXXXX (Child exited prematurely)
  - XXXXXXXX (Child exited prematurely)

Yesterday 170 hosts were skipped because the file system containing
/Storage/Disk was too full.  The threshold in the
configuration file is 95%, while yesterday the file system was
up to 100% full.  Please find more space on the file system,
or reduce the number of full or incremental backups that we keep.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw that exist an script "BackupPC_deletebackup" and I try to using it to delete some backups and get more free space on the disk, but I have problems.

I've got a message:

./BackupPC_deleteBackup: 43: declare: not found
./BackupPC_deleteBackup: 44: declare: not found
./BackupPC_deleteBackup: 45: declare: not found
./BackupPC_deleteBackup: 47: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

I'm really newbie on this, can anyone help me, please?

What I need to do to get more free space on the disk for new backups?

Thank's in advance, and regards.

If you reduce the full keep time and incremental keep time backuppc will do it for you
Cheers,

But note that you have to complete a nightly run to release the space.

Probably you are using dash instead bash. Try "ls -lh /bin/bash". I would
believe it is a softlink to /bin/dash. To resolve the problem you can
install bash (e.g. apt-get install bash) and run BackupPC_deleteBackup
again.

Another way is to reduce the amount of stored old backups. See
$Conf{FullKeepCnt} as well as $Conf{IncrKeepCnt}.

But I would propose to add disk capacity. Because of pooling (file
deduplication) by backuppc I would believe that your storage requirements
will be reduced by removing hosts but not by removing backups.
