Unexpectedly Large .TBI file
Posted: Mon May 28, 2018 6:26 am
I have been using IFL 2.97d for a couple of years. I run it on a bootable Ubuntu 14.04LTS (32-bit) USB Hard Drive.
Until now, every backup has resulted in a .TBI file of reasonable size:
- take an image of an Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit system consuming about 4.5GB, and I end up with a .TBI file of around 3.5GB
- take an image of an Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit system consuming about 6.5GB, and I end up with a .TBI file of around 4.5GB
- take an image of a bootable USB Stick consuming about 5GB, and I end up with a .TBI file of around 3GB
But today, I attempted to backup a Lubuntu 18.04LTS 64-bit system. According to nautilus, and baobab (Disk Usage Analyser), the system is around 7GB in size.
However the resultant .TBI file is 66GB in size.
Can anyone shed any light on this? I am actually attempting to update my old 2.97d USB HD by overwriting it with an IFL image of my new 3.05 USB HD (I have two IFL licences).
But perhaps IFL 2.97d doesn't work too well with the latest Lubuntu?
Thanks.
