My last full backup in July 31 was a size of 28,895.5 and when the
system did a backup the other day it reports it as 15,169.5 and today I
forced a manual full backup and it reports 7,471.0. However, if should
be getting larger. Firstly, my music collection has not changed (it's
the bulk of the 28,895.5) and secondly, I added most of photo images
which is about 6Gig, so I would have expected around 35,000 Mbytes.

The reason for the gap is that I have been away for a month and just
returned and reactivated the virtual machine to perform the backup.

I also noticed I'm getting folders like "M" which does not exist on the
drive.

System setup:
- vmWare 2.0Beta running Kubuntu 8.04
- Backuppc v3.1.0
- Windows XP Professional running vmWare
- Windows machine is the owner of drives and folders being backed up
- Using SMB method for backup.

I have been running the environment for some 4 - 6 months without issue.

I think the issue is only really with the D drive (ie Dleo). The others
seem to be okay from the spot check I have done. Dleo has the music
collection and recently added the image collection. I'll look to move
the image collection to another folder outside of the backup to see what
difference it makes.

BTW, the NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME is not an issue as it is related to
the Zleo drive that needs to be made a share for backup each time. It is
an TrueCrypt drive and shares are not retained.

Any tips on what to look for would be appreciated.
Thanks
Peter
