Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backup More Data Than Exists?


Server NBU 5.1 MP4 on Windows
Client NBU 5.1 MP4 on Windows 2003
 
I've been running afoul on my tape usage recently so I've begun to analyze
my data.  It seems that on one server with about 350GB of data I'm
constantly backing up over 800GB to tape (via NBU's Client Backup Report.)
I thought that NBU might be mistaken but the backup does use about 4 (SDLT
220) Tapes, which is consistent with 800GB.  The data is on a compressed
NTFS partition, but 350GB (Native Storage) uncompressed to 800GB seems
unlikely.  I've disabled / reenabled Windows Open File Backup to no avail.
I'm going to keep working on the compression issue today by trying to copy
the data to an uncompressed share on another server, but I was wondering if
anyone else has had any similar issues?
 
TIA
