My last full backup in July 31 was a size of 28,895.5 and when the system did a backup the other day it reports it as 15,169.5 and today I forced a manual full backup and it reports 7,471.0. However, if should be getting larger. Firstly, my music collection has not changed (it's the bulk of the 28,895.5) and secondly, I added most of photo images which is about 6Gig, so I would have expected around 35,000 Mbytes.
The reason for the gap is that I have been away for a month and just returned and reactivated the virtual machine to perform the backup. I also noticed I'm getting folders like "M" which does not exist on the drive. System setup: - vmWare 2.0Beta running Kubuntu 8.04 - Backuppc v3.1.0 - Windows XP Professional running vmWare - Windows machine is the owner of drives and folders being backed up - Using SMB method for backup. I have been running the environment for some 4 - 6 months without issue.

The others seem to be okay from the spot check I have done. Dleo has the music collection and recently added the image collection. I'll look to move the image collection to another folder outside of the backup to see what difference it makes. BTW, the NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME is not an issue as it is related to the Zleo drive that needs to be made a share for backup each time. It is an TrueCrypt drive and shares are not retained. Any tips on what to look for would be appreciated.
