Affa initial Backup

(1/3) > >>

derekb:
Hi

We have recently upgrade our 2TB backup USB drive with a 3TB drive but we are running into some issues.

With our previous change of backup disk (1tb to 2tb) when we initiated the affa backup it did a full backup of the system and file were after it continued with the normal updates for the files that just changed. This is not the case anymore and i cant see any change in the below configuration which would stop affa from doing the initial backup?

Can i ask if someone can check and let me know if they see anything wrong?

below is the fdisk feedback i receive from the 3TB drive:

[root@netkeeper ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdc

For the 2TB i dont have the Sector size is 4096 (not 512) warning but the rest it the same. File system is ext3.

Let me know if you need more information.

PS: the backup is stating but only initiating the incremental backup and not the full backup as its suppose to with nothing else on the disk.

Is the incremental not in fact a full backup as the incremental from nothing is, yep, a full backup?

The size of the first backup doesnt not come close to the actual size of the system being backed up. My system size at the moment with all file which needs to be backed up is >1.6TB. The initial back is only 7.6GB. Also if i view the files not everything is there.
