multivolume backup - Backup is doubled

[Michael Wa.]

Hi I'm using Panel 10.1.1

our daily scheduled backup is set up to split the backup into several 2GB tar files.
However the backup process now creates 2 backups:

A) complete Backup splitted into several 2GB files
B) + a additional complete backup in a single tar file.

the result: backup time, load and discspace is doubled!

Can someone confirm this error? Or provide a solution for this?

Regards
Michael

Am I the only one with this problem?

Is someone using multi volume Backups successfully??

thanks.

Yes, I am seeing that as well, but only for some backups that are split.

However, I am also seeing backup files getting split oddly. The Multivolume size is set to 2047 and I get the following.

Mar 16, 2011 11:46 PM domain-1103162346.tar1 1.91 GB

I also noticed that the backup file timestamp is 1 + 5n minutes eg 6, 11, or 21 minutes from the scheduled backup start time. Not really a problem, just seems really weird to me.
In the older version of Plesk, I would use the timestamp figure out how long each backup process would take, so I can stack them in as tightly together without overlapping as I can.

I'm afraid the multi-volume backup issue is still persistent.
Any solutions?
Cheers!
