I think what Lawrence meant was that say full backup takes 33GB, as the one below. | 1,089 | tic FS | 2011-01-08 02:05:03 | B | F | 464,798 | 33,390,404,320 | T | Now, if you do Incremental backup, it's going to be reported by bconsole as even bigger, eg.: | 1,097 | tic FS | 2011-01-09 02:05:03 | B | I | 6,573 | 39,758,701,241 | T | | 1,105 | tic FS | 2011-01-10 02:05:08 | B | I | 4,585 | 39,502,153,253 | T | | 1,113 | tic FS | 2011-01-11 02:05:02 | B | I | 4,585 | 39,808,375,917 | T | | 1,122 | tic FS | 2011-01-12 02:05:02 | B | I | 4,441 | 39,939,208,908 | T | | 1,130 | tic FS | 2011-01-13 02:05:03 | B | I | 7,584 | 40,036,714,059 | T | This is something that I don't have an answer for and I guess it's somewhere within the documentation and I have missed it. Logically to me would be to show only how much Incremental backup took space, not the total of the last full + incremental.
