Hi everyone!

How exactly are "new" files, which have to be backed up, determined by
Bacula?

The reason for asking: Recently, I migrated my main data to a new set of
hard drives. I did so by using "rsync -aH" which *should* leave all file
timestamps etc. untouched. After the migration was finished, also all
paths etc. were exactly the same as before, just with a new set of HDDs
"underneath". However, in the next scheduled Bacula run (which was
scheduled as Incremental), Bacula stared to backup *everything* of the
abovementioned data.
(I cancelled the job and will resume doing backups on this particular
fileset with next regular Full backup which is scheduled for the
upcoming Sunday anyway.)

So - what went wrong here and how could this have been avoided?

The inodes *all* changed, it is effectively a new file system, it will need to be fully backed up.

        Cheers,
