How much Data is on this client? Is it doing the backups by archive bit?
Do you have any AV running while the backup is taking place?

Only time I have seen this is when the archive bit is not correctly set.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing Up Too Much Information

I didn't think I'd ever say that but I am backing up too much data.  I
am running NBU 6.0 MP4, Windows Master/Media/Clients.  I have a client
with four 500GB volumes and my full backups from this weekend are
already at 1.7TB and still climbing.  I have seen this twice before and
it will end up backing up about twice as much data as is actually on the
client so I can only assume it's getting everything twice.  Does anyone
know how and why this happens and do you have any suggestions on how to
avoid it.

Thanks,
Randy
