[Bacula-users] bacula backups insufficient

Hello list,

My current bacula director does seem to be able to connect to it's clients, but for some reason the backups are much smaller than expected.

Terminated Jobs:

Taking my mail server for example:

Terminated Jobs:
JobId Level    Files      Bytes   Status   Finished        Name
======================================================================
    14 Full        197    20.36 M OK       22-Mar-13 02:10 mail.mydomain.com

    40 Incr          0         0   OK       26-Mar-13 03:05 mail.mydomain.com
    45 Incr          0         0   OK       27-Mar-13 03:05 mail.mydomain.com
    50 Incr          0         0   OK       28-Mar-13 03:05 mail.mydomain.com

Even full backups of my mail server which should be in the GIGABYTES are only on the order of 20 MB or so in the current backup rotation.

From my bacula-dir.conf here's my director:

Director {                            # define myself
Name = storage.mydomain.com
DIRport = 9101                # where we listen for UA connections
QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/query.sql"
WorkingDirectory = "/var/spool/bacula"
PidDirectory = "/var/run"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
Password = "secret"         # Console password
Messages = Daemon
}

Mail job:

Job {
Name = "mail.mydomain.com"
Type = Backup
Client = mail.mydomain.com
FileSet = "Full Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = "Default"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/spool/bacula/%c.bsr"
}

Schedule:

Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Full 1st sun at 03:05
Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 03:05
Run = Incremental mon-sat at 03:05
}

Client:

# Client (File Services) to backup
Client {
Name = mail.mydomain.com
Address = mail.mydomain.com
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = JokefireCatalog
Password = "secret"                  # password for
File Retention = 30d                # 30 days
Job Retention = 30d                # 30 days
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}

Storage:

# Definition of file storage device
Storage {
Name = File
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = storage.mydomain.com    # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "secret"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
}

My default pool:

Pool {
Name = "Default"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 14 days          # 2 week retention
Maximum Volume Bytes = 5G        # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
Maximum Volumes = 2000               # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
Volume Use Duration = 7d           # Use a new tape every week
Recycle = yes                       # Recycling
Recycle Oldest Volume = yes         # Recycle the oldest volume
LabelFormat = "jf-backup-tape-"
}

This is what st storage looks like

And volumes are being created.. just not receiving quite the expected amount of data:

I'm using my mail server here as an example but certainly ALL the clients should be backing up far more data than they are. Does anyone have any tips they can share on how I can troubleshoot this strange phenomenon?

Thanks!
Tim
