Check whether you have any sparse files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparse_file). Set the approriate option (sparse = yes) and try again. I use the following FileSet as a default; it automatically excludes /tmp (tmpfs-based), /proc (procfs). FileSet { Name = "Full Set" Include { Options { aclsupport = no # I believe this will speed up the most common case sparse = yes compression = GZIP signature = MD5 OneFS = no FSType = ext2 # ext3 as well FSType = jfs FSType = reiserfs FSType = xfs FSType = jfs } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
