This is the older server in the environment, that im stuck with a couple months more while this legacy set of severs sets to stand down soon.  So im stuck with this install that the previous admin left.   Fortunately, my new server is running like a top.  So today, I come in, and I see this:

 

  6441  Incr         89    322.1 G  OK       18-Jan-13 00:31 d1035-full-diff-inc-Job

 

Incremental job, backs up 322GB of data. 

 

[jhorne@h035 ~]$ df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/vg_d1035-lv_root

                       50G  7.3G   40G  16% /

tmpfs                  16G   76K   16G   1% /dev/shm

/dev/sda1             485M  137M  324M  30% /boot

/dev/mapper/vg_d1035-lv_data

                      1.3T  107G  1.1T   9% /data

/dev/mapper/vg_d1035-lv_home

                       68G  5.1G   59G   8% /home

 

As one can see, the server has about 140GB total.  So how is that possible?  This is the fileset this server is using:

 

FileSet {

  Name = "Legacy Platform wData Backups"

  Include {

    Options {

      signature = MD5

    }

    File = /

    File = /boot

    File = /home

    File = /data

  }

  Exclude {

    File = /tmp

    File = /proc

    File = /sys

    File = /dev

    File = /var/lib/pgsql

    File = /var/lib/mysql

    File = /var/log/lastlog

    File = /var/spool/bacula

    File = /.journal

    File = /.fsck

  }

}

 

This is boggling, not to mention it is eating up an extraordinate amount of storage space.  40 other servers might be doing the same thing.  actually, I know of at least one that is, so maybe they all are.

 

Any ideas to begin trouble shooting this would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,
