Hi everybody,
I've just completed a Bacula deployment within our infrastructure and
run through the first backups; while all of them have completed without
any error, one of the jobs gave results that I find puzzling.
I backed up our mail server, which is hosted in a virtual machine with
two virtual disks sized at 20G and 200G respectively. I'm only backing
up relevant files (/etc, /root and /opt) and measured on the server
itself, the total size amounts to slightly more than 56G.
The backup job ends with a total size of 145G, which is clearly wrong;
the total number of backed up files is however correct, standing at
400k+.
I've tried googling for an explanation, but I didn't find anything
relevant; did somebody here experience something like this and/or has a
good explanation?
Tech info: backup server is on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, mail server on Ubuntu
10.04 LTS, both of them with stock packages; I'm using encryption and
writing backup di disk files; if needed I can detail bacula
configuration.
Thanks,
Alberto
