No - it is actually 1TB of data - but with NTFS compression it fits on a
350GB LUN.  Its all text files (HTML etc..) so it compresses very well.
When Netbackup reads it back it gets uncompressed so NBU reports 1TB.

Could file size be the problem? or too many types of files? small, or
large?

What is the type of data and are you using compression?  I wouldn't
expect that from an Oracle Database but if you are using compression
then I could see 2:1 numbers comparing backed up data to disk.  I've got
a "report" server with hundreds of thousands of HTML files that exists
on a 350GB Lun that is actually 1TB of data.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backing Up Too Much Information

I didn't think I'd ever say that but I am backing up too much data.  I
am running NBU 6.0 MP4, Windows Master/Media/Clients.  I have a client
with four 500GB volumes and my full backups from this weekend are
already at 1.7TB and still climbing.  I have seen this twice before and
it will end up backing up about twice as much data as is actually on the
client so I can only assume it's getting everything twice.  Does anyone
know how and why this happens and do you have any suggestions on how to
avoid it.

Thanks,
Randy
