Hello,

if I do a full backup the database.bak file has a view GB.

In the filestream folder there are more than 100GB.

Even with compression I assume there is no filestream included.

Should the filestream be included by default?

How do I correctly backup a filestream enabled mssql database?

You get lucky, the freshly released 24.0.2 release contains a patch for that plugin,

which allow you to backup & restore Filestream enabled database.

Means your fd need this version from current Bareos-24.0.3~pre0.54685a85d-x64-Release.exe
Or subscription 24.0.2 https://download.bareos.com/bareos/release/24/windows/winbareos-24.0.2-release-64-bit.exe

Regards.
