Almost anything is possible, but there have been no changes in the way Bacula does backups for quite a few versions, so I doubt that Bacula is doing it. Typically it is virus protection software. If he can provide proof positive, i.e. disable all software other than Bacula do a backup and show that file times change, then that might be worth looking at. Also, if it is one user only one user having the problem, it points the finger elsewhere. Finally, I am running 2.4.1 here and have been since before it was released, and I am seeing normal Incremental backups. Thanks for mentioning this ... I'll take a look at the thread.
