Is it possible that you have a symbolic link that references back up the
directory tree.
I have seen problems like this from circular references before.

Hi,
I've just started looking into this app for backing up my Linux
and FreeBSD boxes.
I've started by backing up one server, which is a pretty small one.
However, the first full backup is huge (584GB).
The server is an ESXi 6.5 VM with only a 200GB drive assigned.
Obviously there is something I've configured wrong, so any advice
gratefully appreciated.
This is what's listed in Bareos:
Bareos-Linux-Client.png
This is the client's file system:
Bareos-Linux-Client-Files-System.png
This the the FileSet:
FileSet {
Name = "LinuxAll"
Description = "Backup all regular filesystems, determined by
filesystem type."
Include {
Options {
Signature = MD5 # calculate md5 checksum per file
One FS = No # change into other filessytems
FS Type = btrfs
FS Type = ext2 # filesystems of given types will be backed up
FS Type = ext3 # others will be ignored
FS Type = ext4
FS Type = reiserfs
FS Type = jfs
FS Type = xfs
FS Type = zfs
}
File = /
}
# Things that usually have to be excluded
# You have to exclude /var/lib/bareos/storage
# on your bareos server
Exclude {
File = /var/lib/bareos
File = /var/lib/bareos/storage
File = /proc
File = /tmp
File = /var/tmp
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
}
}
JobDef:
GNU nano 4.8 /etc/bareos/bareos-dir.d/jobdefs/LinuxJob.conf
JobDefs {
Name = "LinuxJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = bareos-fd
FileSet = "LinuxAll"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = Incremental
Priority = 10
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"
Full Backup Pool = Full # write Full Backups
into "Full" Pool (#05)
Differential Backup Pool = Differential # write Diff Backups
into "Differential" Pool (#08)
Incremental Backup Pool = Incremental # write Incr Backups
into "Incremental" Pool (#11)
}
Dir Config for Client:
Job {
Name = "svrwebutil01"
Client = svrwebutil01-fd
JobDefs = "LinuxJob"
}
Client {
Name = svrwebutil01-fd
Address = svrwebutil01 # the name has to be resolvable
through DNS
Password = "REMOVED" # password for FileDaemon which has
to be the same like the password in the director ressource of the
bareos-fd.conf on the backup c>
File Retention = 30 days # 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months # six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Thanks,
Richie
