Hi, I'm running bacula 2.2.8 form Debian backports org on an Etch server. There is also my desktop which runs the bacula-fd to be backed up every day at 10 o'clock. The schedule is monday to thursday: incremental backup. Friday: full.
Now I'm wondering about my incremental backup. Every day it runs, but the files it stores in the backup are all changed files PLUS all directories, no matter if a file inside the directory was changed or not. The same job and schedule is running on my bacula server to backup the serer. Here the incremental backup takes all the files that changed and the directories containting them, but nothing more than this. The result is that my desktop uses a lot of volume space for things that aren't really necessary to be put on the backup (at least from my point of view). Now I really wonder about the WHY. The only obvious difference is that the desktop is powered off during the night while the server is running 7x24 hours. But I tried to shutdwon the desktop, drink a coffee, start it again and do an incremental backup and then the files backed up look reasonable and don't include every subdirectory in my fileset. What am I doing wrong? Regards Rainer -- Dipl.-Inf. (FH) Rainer Koenig Project Manager Linux Business Clients Dept.
