Hi David,

what i do is i start bconsole and then i enter into it:

1) @output /tmp/list
2) estimate job=jobname listing level=full


Then i open a 2nd ssh session to the server and do a:

tail -f /tmp/list

I can watch in realtime what it would do in that job.

However the output is pretty strange to me.
I have 1,1 TB of data to save. An estimate tells me it would save 868 GB of it 
(roughly 3 Million of Files less than on the HDD) and if the real full job is 
done it only saved 597 GB and 6 Million Files (of around 16 Millions stored on 
the HDD).

I dont want to rant but i spent the last 2 weeks on Bareos and i dont have a 
feeling that it would be a reliable backup solution at all. When it runs it 
backups things yes - but each time it´s different things - more or less files. 
And even i have some reasonable excludes, it is absolutely not logical that it 
saves less than half of what it should.

I created some test directories and files and it did not even save them in the 
Full Run. Currently it obviously tries to backup the missing rest in an 
incremental. Why is that? I dont know.

One big disadvantage of this software is, that it is not even telling you what 
it did not backup.

Every commercial (windows backup) product i know at least sent you a list of 
files that were not backed up after the job.

Instead of this useful information i get emails with 50 pages of what files the 
director had to create to populate it´s internal file storage database. I could 
not care less about this information. I dont want to know whats going on 
internally. I want to know things an admin has to know.

Well sorry - i started to rant now though ;)

Just like i am pretty tired on spending all this time on a solution i cannot 
trust in the end.
