Could be driver related. Could you try creating a new base image?
I know there's another thread on the issue with having incrementals just as large as a full backup, but since I had other issues to report also, I decided to start a new thread.
First, I got an email from the Ghost on my laptop that said this:
Date: 7/7/2008 15:37:41 PM
Notification Type: Error
Priority: High
Description: Error EC8F1780: Cannot successfully reconcile changes since
last session. Error EC8F1771: Cannot enumerate the current drives on this
system. Error EBAB03E9: Internal Application Error: Memory Access Violation
c0000005: Application tried to read memory at 02c40309.
Details: 0xEBAB03E9
The only thing I can figure that this MIGHT be related to is that I had my laptop docked (Inspiron 8600 in a Dell port replicator) and I undocked it without doing an "Undock" first. But, it wasn't connected to a network and didn't have any other drives hooked to the port replicator, so I don't know why I got that message, but I *think* it was sent right around that same time.
Second, my laptop is set to do a backup every night at midnight, creating a full backup every 3 days and incrementals the rest of the time. The morning after the above error, my systray icon for Ghost said everything was fine (little green checkmark on icon). But, when I tried to go into Ghost, it couldn't connect to the service or something like that. Also, I went into the Services applet and tried to stop the Ghost service and it changed status to "Stopping", but would not stop. I ended up rebooting. Once it booted back up and I went into Ghost, I found out that the previous night's backup did not run (despite the green checkmark in the systray icon).
Third, that night (the day after the above error message), the backup tried to run. It was creating an incremental. A full backup has been taking 8 hours (writing the backup over a 100Mbit Ethernet connection). The incremental was only at 74% after 9 hours. I had to abort it and go to work. I ran it again last night and it took 10 hours to create the incremental, which ended up being just as big as a Full backup (approx 120 GB). The beginning, where it said "Reconciling Volume", seemed to take FOREVER.
Just for the record, I will say that my D drive had not changed at all, and my C drive had minimal changes. Other incrementals have been running under 1 GB and there is no reason this latest one should have been any different.
ps. I'm running XP Pro w/SP2 and all current patches (except SP3)
No comments on why I would get an incremental backup that is just as large as a full backup, when it should be very small, and why it took 25% longer than a full backup?
