Re: Problem with Disk usage

Kunjan,

I'm not seeing an obvious problem.  So I have some suggestions to gather
more information and something you can try.

Can you add
    rsync_long_args     --delete --numeric-ids --relative --delete-excluded 
--stats
to your rsnapshot.conf (adding --stats to rsync).  And unless there is a
good reason, can you reduce verbose to 4 or 3.  Then can you send me/us
the output from rsnapshot hourly, and the end of the log file.

What does /home/sepia/sitebackups/postbackup.sh do?

Any ideas why daily.2 has linked files (where the others don't)?
And why daily.3 is missing?  (I guess that would be daily.4 now.)

If you feel like experimenting, you could try setting
        link_dest       0
But I suggest you don't change this at the same time as other changes.
