In rare instances, backup processing exceeded actual data on systems formatted with xfs.

Summary

When backing up XFS file systems on Linux, ActiveImage Protector 2018 may, on rare occasions, miscalculate the number of sectors allocated and will backup more sectors than are in use.

For example, a 100 GB XFS partition may have only 10 GB allocated but ActiveImage Protector may backup as much as 80 GB rather than the expected 10 GB.

Cause

We are investigating the cause.
