Hello everyone, this is my first post in the mailing list so i'll write a few things about me, i'm a sys admin and i'm currently managing several servers (colo, VPS, shared, etc). I've been looking for a backup system for some time now and Bacula seems perfect!
i'd also like to add that Bacula has the best and most complete documentation i've ever seen in an open source project, great work! now, to my problem: i've got two systems, one is the remote server (a VPS in this case) and the other is the backup server (this one is a colocated dedicated server). I've setup the bacula-fd on the remote server and i've setup bacula-dir and bacula-sd on the backup server. I've also setup the two monitors and full TLS encryption between them all (gnome-tray-monitor doesn't support TLS btw). i've run several Full backups and they worked perfectly, the final compressed size of the full backup is 6GB. but, when i run a Differential backup the next day, it backs up nearly 2GB of data!! (in 6,387 files), which seems rather strange because i'm sure that the server hasn't been used that much to warrant changes in 6,387 files or nearly 2GB of data. as a side note, i'd like to say that i'm using an extensive Exclude list that prevents backups for /tmp and similar directories which are used too frequently and are of no real importance to me. Any help would be appriciated. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
