Hello,
I backup several unix and Linux Server without having trouble. but one redhat
7.3 server don't work that way.
i got some strange problem by backup this linux server with ext3. i use normal
configuration, but my incremental backup are as big as the full backup. for
example i post some info:
dumpcycle 7 days
runspercycle 4
tapecycle 8 tapes

as you can see, the filesize between level 0 and level 1 don't differ.
now my question. is it a effect ob using ext3? can't ext3 handle the archive
bit in the way that amanda use it? do i have to go back using ext2?
Thx & Regards
Stephan
