I tried the sparse=yes, but that didn't help. I worked though a file list
and found the culprit to be lastlog. Although it is only 27 lines (using the
lastlog program), it is 216GB. It is supposed to be a sparse file, but
bacula is still estimating it at 216GB. Since I can't sparse a particular
file, I just may exclude it as it's not critical for restore.

Thanks for the help.
