Hi,
I'm still trying to understand why my setup isn't working as expected.
I did some tests (thx Arno for pointing me) about the Ignore FileSet
Changes option.
This option should be "no" by default as stated on the manual.
Here what I did:
- I added the directive (forced to no) in the example configuration, and
set the File list to be on the client. [1]
- I deleted/purged every old job of my client
- I added one directory to /home/viashino/files (/etc/bacula) and did a
full backup. ( End time: 05-mag-2007 11:21:31)
- Added a second directory to /home/viashino/files (/var) and did an:
"estimate level=Incremental listing" (a snap is attached [2])
- I then did a backup (incremental) to be sure that it wasn't a problem
of the estimate (ok, this can sound silly, but I wanted to test
everything) but indeed the backup was wrong : it backuped only a cuple of
files (20 more or less).
The Ignore FileSet Changes should compare the two include/exclude lists
(md5 hash, right?) and if the newest is different from the last, run a
full backup. Unfortunatly Bacula is not doing this.
When I added /var to my fileset and did the incremental, it backuped ONLY
the files that were modified after the backup, basing ONLY on the
time-stamp.
I'm using Debian on both client and server, bacula version 2.0.3 (06 March
2007).
Also I'm facing the same problem on the Windows Client (that was the
starting point :D )
Now, is this a bug?
Thank you for the help, If you need more information please tell me.
