Howdy,

 

I have Bacula server components running on a Fedora Core 6 box and it is
successfully backing up itself and a Windows XP Pro box to a local hard
disk.

 

I'm now adding in a Vista machine. The backup starts and runs to completion,
however I have noticed two odd behaviors:

1) I'm backing up 100 GB worth of data, yet the backup ends up taking over
300 GB worth of space???

2) I'm seeing a lot of errors such as

 

Could not open directory C:/Documents and
Settings/joeshmo/AppData/Local/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application
Data/Application Data/Application Data/Application Data/History: ERR=The
name of the file cannot be resolved by the system.

 

For starters, from what I can tell, there isn't a "Documents and Settings"
folder on the C drive anymore, and there certainly aren't a bunch of nested
"Application Data" folders.

 

I have Volume Shadow Copy enabled and just noticed on the Supported
Operating Systems page that "Windows Vista VSS is reported not to work with
Bacula", I'll try disabling that tonight and try it again.

 

Anyone have a clue why it would be trying to backup a directory that doesn't
exist?

 

Thanks, Mike
