Okay, fixed! Let us assume the problem is fixed due to the synchronized clocks, will an incremental backup (tonight) save files that it saved last night if they changed or will it not? What I try to say is, how bacula finds out which files needs to be backup incremental? On a per timestamp basis or on a content basis (e.g. MD5, SHA1, ...)?
