Re: [opensuse] backups via rsync leaving old junk in the backup?

All,

I have a directory that I backup every night via rsync to a remote server a couple thousand miles away. (For about 2 years now.)

Its a dynamic directory with files created and deleted.

I just noticed that the main directory is 247GB, but the remote copy is 354GB.

If the allocation block size is different on the source and destination file systems, then internal fragmentation could account for the difference. What do you get when you divide the size discrepancy by the number of files?

Thanks Greg
