I have no idea what purpose this folder serves, but suspect that both it and "RECYCLER" (deleted files in your recycle bin that are waiting to be emptied) may not be counted by Windows in it's total file size display due to being hidden/system folders, but *are* counted when Bacula backs them up. Feel free to list the files in the archive and add up the storage in these two folders from your backup to see if they account for the extra 3 gigs of backup size..... -Arthur ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Emerson III Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator InterNIC: AE81 Mount Saint Mary College MaBell: (845) 561-0800 Ext. 3109 330 Powell Ave. Fax: (845) 562-6762 Newburgh, NY 12550 SneakerNet: Aquinas Hall Room 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
