Hi All It seems to me that Bacula makes unnecessary duplicate backups.
I have 1. Daily incremental 2. Monthly differential 3. Annual full. However one of the backups is over 3.5 TB, and the system only manages about 100GB/hour. So the differential backup (in this case) ran for more than 24 hours. I also had a others in the queue that pushed the time to when it could get to the daily incremental to over 2 days later. So... 1. Bacula did the differential, starting on Saturday. 2. today it did an incremental, for stuff added since Saturday. 3. it then did exactly the same files as in (2) again. I was watching. I'm assuming this is because Bacula decides WHAT to back up at the time the job is scheduled, instead of when it is actually run. Is that correct, or is something else wrong? thanks, Ian -- i...@zti.co.za http://www.zti.co.za Zero 2 Infinity - The net.works Phone +27-21-975-7273 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What NetFlow Analyzer can do for you?
