Can I find out what's causing the big increment (LVM)

Post by marama »

Hi there!
ESXi 5.5, Veeam BR 8, Centos VM, 1.5 TB LVM
THe daily increment says it's 40G big (36G compressed), but I don't think that we had 40G of new/changed data on the storage.
I've identified the changed VMDK (2 vmdk out of 13 hat some 18G change each) but that's all I could find out.
It's probably not a Veeam-topic, more LVM one, but I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if there is a way to find out what's causing the big increment. I don't think there were any checkdisk operations.
TIA

Hi. Is there some database or mail application running in this VM?

Hi!
Find revealed some 5GB of modified data. No mailserver, there is a small DB, total of 530MB and small usage.

Check for some in-guest activity prior to that backup that could result in VMDK blocks changes. Is it just this single increment that you're concerned about or this is a common size for the daily increment?
