Hi list. My understanding of an incremental backup is that only changed data is backed up. I use Bacula for backups to a disk array and configured it to do full backups once a month and daily increme

Yes. The entire file is backed up again when gets modification. Incremental backups include all modified files since last backup (Full, Incremental ou differential). Incremental and differential are

First there's something adding data everyday, so that's why there's more and more data. You didn't tell us what kind of Incremental you do, so fileset definition could help us. (also basic informatio

I hope you put a limit on the file size or usage duration so that this volume does not grow until it fills up the disk. Remember / retention does not work until the volume is marked Full or used and

Hi And thanks for all the replies so far. I'm running Bacula 5.0.3 on OpenSuSE 11.3. Self compiled with the following configure options: --enable-smartalloc --sbindir=/usr/local/bacula/bin --sysconf
Sorry Bacula is not that clever..indeed it's just checking for files which changes.. It's not able to determine how the file changed, or just back up those bits which changed. --Guy Sent from my iPad

You'll only get close to the sort of behaviour you want (i.e., only the changed data in the file is backed up) if and when Bacula gains some measure of deduplication support. (Maybe not even then,

Because Bacula is file-based (as are most other backup systems), and not, say, block-based (like, e.g., Norton Ghost), "many messages in a single file" mailbox formats like PST and mbox will tend to

It sounds like you have some large files which compress a lot. I would take the output of 'list files jobid=<some job>' and write a script to find the size of every file in the list to verify why it
