Oh, I thought that would be obvious... the file sizes you back up, the file sizes on disk for what you back up (to see if any of them are compressed), and the file sizes Bacula stores. Under unix/linux, getting the necessary information together would be rather simple, under windows I have no idea how I would do this. Create a file listing from the catalog, containing file name and size. Use whatever tools you have to get the file size and file size on disk from windows. Compare. Or sum up the three sizes you have, so you have a total of Baculas file sizes, the windows file sizes, and windows file sizes on disk. The first and second number should be close to each other, the last one should be about 3.5 GB. The other way: check, re-check and then check again your filesets... the options combined with includes and excludes can really become a nightmare :-) Arno > Raymond Luong > IT Department > Mocana Corporation > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno > Lehmann > Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 2:48 PM > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] backup volume size greater than files > > Hi, > > On 4/2/2007 11:38 PM, Raymond Luong wrote: >> So you don't see anything wrong with my setup files or the job report? > > I can determine if something's wrong only if I have all relevant data :-) > > Arno > >> Raymond Luong >> IT Department >> Mocana Corporation >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno >> Lehmann >> Sent: Monday, April 02, 2007 2:01 PM >> To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net >> Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] backup volume size greater than files >> >> Hi, >> >> On 4/2/2007 10:46 PM, Raymond Luong wrote: >>> I right click on the folders being backup on the windows 2003 server and >>> select properties.
