Very small backup

[perdrix]

I selected to backup /dev/sdb which is a 96GB SSD.

Code: Select all

                         Choose volumes to back up

But when the backup completed (very quickly) it told me:

It didn't attempt to backup Charon-vg/root which is a 79GB btrfs partition or anything else on the volume.



What am I doing wrong?

Hmmm... I tried to backup the BTRFS partition.

The job started quite a long while ago (more than ten minutes) and so far it is still showing:

Code: Select all

When I show progress, I see:

Not promising

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

It didn't attempt to backup Charon-vg/root which is a 79GB btrfs partition or anything else on the volume.

Well, I think the session log says that it actually did:

Code: Select all

Backed up Charon-vg 16 GB at 1.6 GB/s

But when the backup completed (very quickly)

That's expected since it's incremental (it seems that you have performed a full backup before):

Code: Select all

      10:48:46         Starting incremental backup to Repository_1

Attempting to stop the job just changes the status from Running to Stopping, but the job doesn't end.

Which agent version is that? How long does it 'hang' in its attempts to stop the job?

Thanks!
