noting was logged to the console not to /var/log/messages

no, i meant the file(s) where the information about already backuped 
files is stored. (the bdb data store ?)

On another suse, box when i tested boxbackup, i had trouble adding bdb 
support (suse got the location of the header files wrong) and the 
bbackupd process grew to 200MB due the the use of the mem-storage 
engine. After every restart the collecting started all over and took 
ages (webserver with loads of small files). To be sure i want to have a 
look at the bdb data files.

It seems i mixed that up. There was a discussion on the dev-list about 
adding a path to count the bbstored traffic on the serverside without 
firewall tricks for version 0.10. I looked at the changelog and it seems 
that it didn't made it into the release.
