Hi,
I'm trying to setup a backup from a locally CIFS mount into S3 but I'm struggling with a strange behavior. After the first full backup, the next incremental backup detects several deleted files. But the files have not changed and every "deleted" file is still there. The original situation where I detected something strange was happening was when, after a full-backup of 250GB, an incremental backup uploaded ~100GB, again without changes in the files.
I've tried "-v debug" and all it shows are the "Comparing None and <path>" and paths of the deleted items. How can I pinpoint the cause? Is the an hidden "-v tell-me-what-i-need-to-know"?
It does not seem a bug (as in "Google does not show me that it is a known issue"), so is there something strange with with my setup? My theory is that this happens for full backups that are interrupted (mount becomes inaccessible) and restarted later. Because when I try with smaller quick-to-backup directories the incremental always works as expected.
All this his happened with version 0.6.18. I've upgraded to version 0.6.24 and see the same behavior, although I've reused the full-backup that was made by the previous version. All this with python 2.7.3 on a raspbian (debian wheezy).
Cheers,
