Just thought I'd share a data point. The Bareos manual currently reads, for Accurate mode:
> For 500.000 files (a typical desktop linux system), it will require approximately 64 Megabytes of RAM on your File daemon to hold the required information. On a job I'm currently running in Accurate mode, I'm doing an incremental backup of about 3.5m files on a system running a 64-bit file daemon. The bareos-fd process currently has 1424M VIRT, and 946M resident. Resident is what we care about. That 64M/500k files seems accurate for 32-bit, if we assume that we double it to 128M/500k for 64-bit. 128M * (3.5m/500k) works out to 896M, which is spitting distance away from my observed 946M. Might be nice to update the manual to point out that memory consumption for Accurate mode about doubles on 64-bit operating systems. Particularly given how prevalent those are becoming. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
