Hello, I got a new server because the old server is currently broken.
Now I wanted to restore an external backup.
First of all, I only wanted to restore the backup for one customer.
The server loads a lot of data onto the server. For example, from customers that I didn't want to restore yet.
The /var/lib/psa/dumps alone is currently 700 GB in size.
How can it be that the server does much more than I have configured? I can see all the customers in the /var/lib/psa/dumps/clients even though I haven't wanted to restore them yet.
I tried it last night. This morning a 3 TB disk was full of a backup which was about 1 TB in size.

All backup content is packed in a single .tar file. It needs to be downloaded and unpacked to have a separate directory for the one client you want to restore.

Okay, so that's normal. The nightly backup was aborted. Nevertheless, more than 1500 GB of storage space was occupied.
I wonder where so much data came from. The defective server only had a total of 1500 GB of disk space. That's strange.
Currently 900 GB have been moved and there is no end to it.
