Hi,

I am wondering my file system total used space is 139GB and Status showing current written kilobytes are 937200000 that is more than 900GB. Is status showing wrongly? But this back up running 14 hours window still not completed.

what is the backup selection of the policy ? does it all local Drives or specific file sytems entries?

Does follow NFS or Cross mount points options selected in policy attributes?

if these option are selected it might be taking the bacckup of other file ssytems of NFS  file sytems., validate the backup selection and policy attributes once.?

 

 

Hi Ram

what is the backup selection of the policy ? does it all local Drives or specific file sytems entries?

No, It is specific file system

10.193.182.75:/vol/home2 2.0T 139G 1.8T 8% /mnt/bheema_home2

Backup selection path  /mnt/bheema_home2

Does follow NFS or Cross mount points options selected in policy attributes?

NFS mount

if these option are selected it might be taking the bacckup of other file ssytems of NFS  file sytems., validate the backup selection and policy attributes once.?

Backup selection path is right. Is any linked files taking?

Hello,

If everything is same then may be backup is going in loop due wrong softlink.

Please enable bptm, bpbrm and bpbkar for more information.

Thanks & Regards,

do a 

# du -sk mnt/bheema_home2

to see file system size.

hopefully by this time backup got compleated.. ,

browse the backup image from BAR window or list files using bplist command  and compare with real mount point list and see what is the difference..

 

Hi Nicolai

144627176           /mnt/bheema_home2

Hi Ram,

Backup bar taking exact same directory and It has lot of small files and difficult compare one by one. Is there any alternate way we can find this?

 

Thanks,

Thanks a lot for all your help.

The issue with netapp filer .snapshot directory. I have excluded the .snapshot then its works fine as expected.
