Hi Adrian,
the "estimate" command gives more or less what I actually get:
*estimate job=BackupMailserver
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Connecting to Client mail.lab.retis.it-fd at 10.10.200.10:9102
2000 OK estimate files=417,626 bytes=145,337,578,064
It seems that despite the "sparse = yes" option the big file is being
counted in as with its "apparent" size.
Just to clarify, this is what I get for the apparent and real size of
that file
root@mail:/opt/zimbra/data/ldap/mdb/db# ls -l data.mdb && du -hs
data.mdb
-rw------- 1 zimbra zimbra 85899345920 Apr 5 17:18 data.mdb
1.9M data.mdb
Subtracting those 80G from 145G I get 65G, which is a much closer
approximation to the real size of the fileset to be backed up.
Regards,
Alberto
