[SOLVED] Synced datastores between servers discrepancy

[ca_maer]

Hello,

I have 2 PBS server with 2 datastores each. Every datastore is synced to the other server like so



From my understanding, both servers should have the same used space since they both hold the same data ?

Right now Server 1 is holding twice the amount of data than Server 2

Server 1:


Server 2:


Is there a reason for this ? The content (and amount of backups) is the same on both sides. Is this related to the dedup ?

Thanks

You need to run the garbage collect task. I assume you have already done that?

I have a garbage collector task where the source datasource reside only. Is this the right way to do it ? I was under the impression that since we sync the original datastore, the changes from the garbage collector would also follow to the remote datastore

You need to run garbage collect on both sides.

That was it ! After running the garbage collector, both sides are now the same size.
Thanks for the help !
