Hello, [cc'd -users & -devel hope this is not offensive to anyone.]
Today I set up Bacula to backup a mail hierarchy our mail server. This consists of a dozen users maildirs, comprising 4GB of disc space and, according to Bacula, 308926 files. The backup itself ran fine easily filling the 100Mbit connection between servers. However, the size of the backup volume is rather large. mail# du -sh /raid/mail 4.0G /raid/mail mrt# ls -lh /vol/bacula/mail-fp-0001 -rw-r----- 1 bacula bacula 23G Jun 9 17:30 /vol/bacula/mail-fp-0001 This is with compression=GZIP! As you can infer from the volume name this is the first (0001) Full backup (fp == Full Pool). This can't be right, can it? -- Dominic GoodforBusiness.co.uk I.T.
