You did rewind the tape didn't you?

Oh oh, samba. Because of missing time fields in a samba (windows
filesystems) access, it will get essentially a level 0 full backup
every night.

Why are you forcing a level 0, aka a full backup every night?

For a typical system today, you need /space to be measured in
gigabytes, with a relative small percentage held in reserve for
incrementals. But with samba, you won't get incrementals even if it
says its doing a level 4 because every file will be considered new
every night.

Thats how much space is used between files on that drive. It probably
doesn't use that much, 32k would be typical, but thats what the math
spits out.
