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: [image: Bareos-Linux-Client.png] This is the client's file system: [image: 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 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
