Hi
this is very strange,
i have a few servers under linux using ext3 and gnutar with amanda
doing fine level1 and 2's.
I guess you may have a process on your server touching all your files once
a day, making tar thinking they where changed and for that taking them
into your level one backups.
Any chance for that posibility?

Hello,
I backup several unix and Linux Server without having trouble. but one redhat 7.3 server don't work that way.
i got some strange problem by backup this linux server with ext3. i use normal configuration, but my incremental backup are as big as the full backup. for example i post some info:
dumpcycle 7 days
runspercycle 4
tapecycle 8 tapes

as you can see, the filesize between level 0 and level 1 don't differ.
now my question. is it a effect ob using ext3? can't ext3 handle the archive bit in the way that amanda use it? do i have to go back using ext2?
Thx & Regards
Stephan
