Hello,

has anyone recently (4.6) tried to backup nepomuk data? I ran the tool today twice, it starts to create a temporary file under /tmp and nepomukservices process starts to allocate more and more memory. I have 8 GB of RAM and it manages to run out of that space too. This happens when the temporary backup file is around 1 GB big.

Am I the only one? I haven't found a bug on bugs.kde.org against this.

Second related question, is the backup file supposed to be this big? (when I had to kill nepomukservices process, the backup procedure was still unfinished).

How big is your ~/.kde4/share/apps/nepomuk folder?

1.7 GB

However, if I understand correctly, the backup should back up only data, which cannot be retrieved in some other way. Therefore, I thought that it is not backing up all indexed data.

On the other hand the backup temporary file was in plain text, so I suppose that made it much bigger.

Please file a bug at bugs.kde.org, this behaviour is not expected.

Thanks.
