Unless something like Samba is converting the symlink to a directory, Bacula will not follow it.
Filling /tmp might cause the problem, but it should really fail with an error. According to the "stat client" output, it has written 3.3 TB so far. If your data is reasonably compressible then that should fit onto a 2.6 TB LTO-6 tape. __Martin >>>>> On Mon, 18 Feb 2019 21:34:48 +0000, William Muriithi said: > > Hi all, > > Thanks all for the feedback.
