Have you checked for sparse files? e.g. something like this: find /home/sgw/projects -xdev -type f -size +100 -printf '%-12S %p\n' | sort -n | head The value of %S is less than 1 for sparse files. If you have sparse files, then you could try adding Sparse = yes to the Options clause in the fileset. __Martin _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
