Re: [Duplicity-talk] duply restore Bug [ # diff -q -r /tmp/restore/sbin /usr/sbin ] Comes wrong! {Amended 2}

[han duply]

Hi ede!

TKS FOR YOUR NICE REPLY!!

Yes!  When I put them in the folder "sbin2" of /usr, and use the CMD "diff -q -r /usr/sbin /usr/sbin2" It Coms Right...

But two more Question come...

1.  Are these "missing files" Really Backuped in the FTP Server ??

     Because the CMD "du -sh /usr/sbin /usr/sbin2" gives me:

       /usr/sbin      34M

       /usr/sbin2    32M       <== So Where is the other files of 2M ?

    

2.  If "Yes" to the first Question and then...

     How could I fetch an old file from the backend (the FTP Server) and restore it to replace the file that missing or changed in the folder of  /usr/sbin ?

because symlinks are stored in the inode, read
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link#Storage_of_symbolic_links

because they were created relatively, meaning e.g.
 capiinit -> ../../sbin/capiinit
would translate to
 /tmp/myrestore/sbin/../../sbin/capiinit = /tmp/sbin/capiinit
but the target itself is in
 /sbin/capiinit
if you create a folder /usr/sbin2 and put them there they will find their target or better point to the correct target again

investigate some more about symlinks and you will understand. i assume the "bug" is resolved then?
