Well, the full job with such an include list went down from ~800GB to 52GB (I'm including only files that are newer than 70 days, because I keep 2 full backups total, so all the older files will be part of the archive-type backup with one copy only). Unfortunately the backup-disk ran out of space, so the archive-type backup couldn't complete, but it's supposed to be ~750GB now, theoretically. One point about it though.. the find-script finds some files having ^M in the filename. Such a filename is not valid in Bacula, so these files aren't included in the fileset. Fortunately these files should be put into our archive-type backup, because it excludes files the same way as the normal backup includes them, so these files aren't excluded from there either and will be backed up. But the job won't upgrade to full, because I've got "Ignore Fileset Changes = yes". -- Silver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now & Save for Velocity, the Web Performance & Operations Conference from O'Reilly Media.
