Yes 😉 You now have discovered the correct commands to use to check whether hardlinks are used and the size of the backups is small.
Yes, but it's the small boot partition with 512MB which is not that much and some other small files. If you want so save some additional space for the boot partition check option |

I still have a bit troubles with understanding the I could guess, when I ask only for one folder, that the command doesn't have any knowledge of the folders, where the hard link points to and therefore just give the result, like it would be the full size? Or is there another explanation? |

Hi
I love the raspiBackup tool.
Unfortunately I have a little issue. raspiBacku are always performing full backups, although I use the rsync method.
My setup is as follows:
I have a Synolgy 4bay NAS with 4x4TB HDDs. I have created a shared folder on the NAS for raspiBackup to store the files on.
This folder is called "Synology_NetBackup". The sharing of the folder is done with the NFS service.
I've made an entry in /etc/fstab for the folder "Synology_NetBackup". The mountpoint is
/mnt/Synology_NetBackup
.Therefore I have also set the variable
DEFAULT_BACKUPPATH="/mnt/Synology_NetBackup"
accordingly. I call the raspibackup with systemd instead of a cron job. Therefore I have disabled the standard cronjob which the raspibackupUI creates. So far, the backup works. At scheduled time, the systemd service starts raspiBackup and creates a backup.My only issue is now, that everytime a full-backup instead of a full-backup and then subsequently incremental backups are performed and I was not able to figure out, which option I have setup wrong.
I have attached the latest logfile which I have found in the backup folder and my raspiBackup.conf file as well.
If anyone could point me in the correct direction, what I do wrong or could look into the conf and log files, I would be very thankfull.
Best regards
Simon
