You have probably explicitly specified directories that are included in / and
are not mounted file systems. In that case, you are duplicating the data.
The FileSet part of the manual in the Director configuration chapter explains
this. In short, if you do a "df" command, your FileSet should include at a
*maximum* the names that appear in the list "Mounted On" otherwise you are
probably duplicating data. Obviously, if filesystems such as /tmp are
mounted, you will not want to back them up.
