Re: [Bacula-users] prevent bacula to backup recently restored files
For the sake of completeness, as I mentioned in my first posting we're using bacula version 1.38.x. So "noatime = yes" is removed from my config file.

Re: [Bacula-users] prevent bacula to backup recently restored files
Thanks a lot, it perfectly fits my needs. added following two options to conf file: noatime = yes mtimeonly = yes RTFM may help sometimes ;) But I was unsure about which ressource has got needed options, now it's clear as mud. kind regards Martin On 10/28/07, Chris Howells <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > mtimeonly=yes—no If enabled, tells the Client that the selection of > files > during Incremental and Differential backups should based only on > the > st mtime value in the stat() packet.

[Bacula-users] prevent bacula to backup recently restored files
Hello list, how can I prevent bacula to re-write files to tape after I've recently restored them to same location. A similiar problem is when I've moved them to a new (logical) volume which is mounted under same mount point afterwards. No files were changed but complete tree is re-backuped when next backup job is running. I'm pretty sure it's ctime, mtime, atime related, but what's a safe way to backup only changed files? I can give you a fully "stat" output of files in mentioned trees, but first look via "ls" gives me correct "old" dates. Our bacula server is a 1.38.9 version, most fd-clients also, some are 1.38.11. An update to 2.x.x in short-time is no option because of a working production environment including a well adapted rescue disc which covers bacula server and client bare metal restores. thanks Martin - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
