I am testing the netbackup 7.0 flashbackup for my file server, below is the my testing case
Master Server
OS: Windows 2008 R2
Netbackup enterprise 7.0
Client Server
OS: Windows 2003 R2
Netbackup client 7.0
D drive: 1.8 TB ( Used 490GB)
Policy
Type: Flashbackup-windows
Snapshot option: Auto
Selection: \\.\D:
The policy can be completed, but my question is that i found it has backed up 1.8TB instead of 490GB, is flashbackup do not recognize the used size? or it can only backup the full size of the partition
Solved! Go to Solution.

Correct. That is how flasbackup works. It is a block-level backup of the entire raw device.
Flashbackup is not ideal for near-empty volumes.
