Hi Brock,

where are you getting the date from ? The `Date` column in the file explorer does not necessarily use any timestamps from the file itself.   You can view the file timestamps either in the right-click menu or via

|Get-ChildItem <<File or Folder>> -Force | Select-Object FullName, CreationTime, LastAccessTime, LastWriteTime, Mode, Length|

in powershell.  You can use custom queries to get a better understanding of what exactly changed. Simply enter query mode in bconsole via `sqlquery` and use e.g.

select p.path || f.name AS path, to_timestamp(l.st_atime), to_timestamp(l.st_mtime), to_timestamp(l.st_ctime) from file f join path p using (pathid), decode_lstat(f.lstat) l where jobid=1;

You can exit query mode by entering a single `.`.  If you are not using accurate, bareos should just compare max(ctime, mtime) against the since time of the incremental/differential job and backup the file if its greater.

On another note: Why did the backups fail ?

Kind Regards,
Sebastian Sura

Now I am not a Windows person, and I don’t have access to the client (it’s my 
sisters).

This morning I found the backups failed the window and found that it’s trying 
to re-backup everything,  it’s not forcing a full, but all the files and 
folders when I do

estimate job=<jobname>  listing

Have the exact same time (within 5 seconds)

2025-01-30 02:33:32

Windows explorer shows the expected dates in the above example file 12/7/2014 
14:23

I was first worried she had an encryption ransomeware but everything remains 
accessible.


So to be sure it wasn’t some weird bug we updated teh client from 23  to the 
current community 24 and things appear when I do listing to show the correct 
dates,  but it still wants to backup almost everything, so now it’s even more 
of a headscratcher.   The dates are still newer than what is shown in explorer 
but I don’t know if they are showing the same metadata or not.

BTW is there anyway to get
list files jobid=<jobid>

To print similar to  estimate …  listing?   So I can see what dates sizes, etc 
are in the catalog to see what it things is different?

Full exmaple file
23 client with all the same value
-rwxrwxrwx   1 0        0             145224 2025-01-30 02:33:32  
C:/Users/rschr/Documents/Roof issues/P1060898.JPG

24 client and a reboot
-rwxrwxrwx   1 0        0             145224 2023-12-26 14:45:50  
C:/Users/rschr/Documents/Roof issues/P1060898.JPG

Date shown in explorer 12/7/2014 14:23

Thanks
