Backup-File sizes not as expected
Posted: Sun Jul 27, 2008 8:33 am
Hi Barry,
I´m wondering if the setting for maximum file-size in a backup-job is working correctly. I have a configuration backing up to a a local disk-drive. The Backup-Job ist configured with
max. backup-file-size 50 MB
max. number of files 2500
On the initial backup most of the zip-files were about 50 MB in size, some larger because of a large file backed up. But some files were only 3 MB or even smaller with only 10 to 100 files in the ZIP.
On additional backups of this job most of the backup-files are very small and the job is creating a rather large number of backup-files for a small amount of data to be backed up. There were no files pruned until now, so the size of the files has not changed since creation.
Is the file-size-setting working incorrectly or did I miss something in the configuration?
I´m running AISBackup 2.6.0.314 on Windows XP SP2, the target-drive of the backup is a NTFS-drive with 800 GB free space.
