Hi,
I'm having trouble with dirvish. It looks like it occupies for each run
the whole amount of disk space as for the initial backup, but let me
start from the beginning:
I have a Ubuntu 7.10 64bit server installation. The dirvish cron job is
running each night. The data which gets backed up is 3.6GB.
The master.conf looks like this:
bank:
/mnt/storage/disk2/Snapshots
image-default: %Y%m%d_%H%M
log: gzip
index: gzip
exclude: lost+found/
Runall:
Daten
Bilder
expire-rule:
#MIN Hour Day Month DOW Expire
* * * * 1,3,4,5,6,7 +14 days
* * * * 2 + 6 month
expire-default: +30 days
the default.conf (exemplary for Daten ) looks like this:
client:localhost
tree: /mnt/storage/disk1/Daten
xdev: 0
index: gzip
The strange thing is, the initial sync runs approx. 10 mins for each of
the two jobs. Each subsequent job runs 10 secs. max, which is o.k.
because there are not many files which get changed. However each backup
occupies exactly the same amount of disk space as the initial one. I
have now 4 backups plus the initial one and they are occupying approx.
18,5GB
My understanding was, that diskspace will only get allocated if a file
actually gets changed, so why does the occupied space grows and grows???
Thanks for your help
Regards
Stefan
