There are no other mounts - I have everything in on the one disk. Below is an excerpt from the logs - I was going to use pastebin, but that won't show up in the future on the list archives. 22-Oct 23:05 Bacula-Director JobId 15: Begin pruning Jobs. 22-Oct 23:05 Bacula-Director JobId 15: No Jobs found to prune. 22-Oct 23:05 Bacula-Director JobId 15: Begin pruning Files. 22-Oct 23:05 Bacula-Director JobId 15: No Files found to prune. 22-Oct 23:05 Bacula-Director JobId 15: End auto prune. 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: shell command: run BeforeJob "/usr/lib/bacula/make_catalog_backup bacula bacula" 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: Start Backup JobId 16, Job=BackupCatalog.2009-10-22_23.10.00_38 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: Using Device "FileStorage" 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Storage JobId 16: Volume "Vol0001" previously written, moving to end of data. 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Storage JobId 16: Ready to append to end of Volume "Vol0001" size=21174285 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Storage JobId 16: Job write elapsed time = 00:00:01, Transfer rate = 110.0 K bytes/second 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: Bacula Bacula-Director 3.0.2 (18Jul09): 22-Oct-2009 23:10:02 Build OS: i686-redhat-linux-gnu redhat JobId: 16 Job: BackupCatalog.2009-10-22_23.10.00_38 Backup Level: Full Client: "Bacula-Master" 3.0.2 (18Jul09) i686-redhat-linux-gnu,redhat, FileSet: "Catalog" 2009-10-16 23:10:00 Pool: "Default" (From Job resource) Catalog: "MyCatalog" (From Client resource) Storage: "File" (From Job resource) Scheduled time: 22-Oct-2009 23:10:00 Start time: 22-Oct-2009 23:10:02 End time: 22-Oct-2009 23:10:02 Elapsed time: 0 secs Priority: 11 FD Files Written: 1 SD Files Written: 1 FD Bytes Written: 109,943 (109.9 KB) SD Bytes Written: 110,053 (110.0 KB) Rate: 0.0 KB/s Software Compression: None VSS: no Encryption: no Accurate: no Volume name(s): Vol0001 Volume Session Time: 1256229208 Last Volume Bytes: 21,284,834 (21.28 MB) Non-fatal FD errors: 0 SD Errors: 0 FD termination status: OK SD termination status: OK Termination: Backup OK 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: Begin pruning Jobs. 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: No Jobs found to prune. 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: Begin pruning Files. 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: No Files found to prune. 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: End auto prune. 22-Oct 23:10 Bacula-Director JobId 16: shell command: run AfterJob "/usr/lib/bacula/delete_catalog_backup" This is telling me that this job wrote 110,053 bytes? I know not much changed on the client, but I feel it should have been a bit more - Or maybe it just is that damn efficient? I would like to attempt a bare metal restore to another virtual machine, and see how close the backup is to the machine in question. Or is there a way to 'validate' the backup against the current live system? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
