VERIFY that this is happening. It is very easy to get the syntax wrong and
have /BACKUPS being backed up unintentionally.
I think I have found the culprit, /var/log/lastlog . It is a sparse file
and appears to be 1.2TB, which is way larger then the total space of the
filesystem
Wow, do you have that many users???
Lastlog is a database file containing (as its name suggests) information
on each user's last sucessful login
I am guessing I can exclude this file, but is there a more graceful way of
handling this file.
Yes, use the appropriate Options flags for sparse file handling in
bacula-dir.conf.
Note that you'd have had the same problem using tar unless using sparse
file handling options there too.
