Bacula not backing up all the files it should be doing
- by Nigel Ellis
I have Bacula (5.2) running on a Fedora 14 system backing up several different computers including Windows 7, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008.
When backing up the Windows 2008 server the backup stops after a relatively small amount has been backed up and says the backup was okay.
The fileset I am trying to backup should be around 323Gb, but it manages a mere 27Gb before stopping - but not erring.
I did try creating a mount on the Fedora computer to the server I am trying to backup, and Bacula managed to copy 58Gb.
When I tried to use the mount to copy the files manually I was able to copy them all - there are no problems with permissions etc. on the mount.
Please can anyone give a reason why Bacula would just stop?
I have heard there is a 260 character limit, but some of the files that should have been copy resolve to a shorter filename than some that have been backed up.
