Linux Server Backup Fails
Hi
We've just deployed Acronis to 11 servers running on a mix of virtual and physical platforms. They backup using the default GFS backup policy to a centralized unmanaged vault over the network. One of our physical CentOS Oracle database servers has started getting backup failures when performing incremental backups with the following error messages:

The other two virtual CentOS Oracle database servers (identically configured) are backing up fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Yana
Thanks for the prompt response. We've found the cause of the issue, turns out this server had a USB drive mounted, and the agent was set to backup all volumes, which was including the USB drive. Unmounted the USB drive and backups are working again fine.
I did have one further question - the incremental and differential backups for the Linux servers under the standard GFS scheme are very similar in size to a full backup - does this sound normal to you?
Cheers
Adrian
