Hi,
I just installed Bacula server on a Linux box and I'm testing various
clients.
I have a Windows Server 2012 machine which has deduplication enabled (
https://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2012/05/21/introduction-to-data-deduplication-in-windows-server-2012.aspx?Redirected=true).
This is a new feature in Windows Server 2012 which does chunk based
deduplication.
It saves quite a bit of disk space.
I installed the latest free Bacula client for Windows (5.2.10, 64-bit).
The problem is that the backups are incomplete. The client goes over all
files, but most of files are 0 bytes on the server. When trying to restore
them, I get a 0 byte file as well.
This can be seen from the backup's report as well - it says 1 GB total
while the total amount of files is about 50 GB.
Does anyone know if the latest version of the client (6.0.6) works OK with
Windows Server 2012 that has deduplication turned on? I don't mind buying
it, of course, but would like to know that it works ok :)
Or if there is a setting that might help with the free version. When I
disable VSS I get the same results as when it is enabled.
Thanks,
Bojan
