You will frequently notice this backing up e-mail volumes, or
directories that contain lockfiles. For some unknown reason, the .lock
files are stored in /var/mail on our system, and so there are many
complaints about files that did not exist at the time of writing, but
did exist when the list was being made (this was with Data Protector).
As for e-mail files, they are bound to grow during the backup. My
solution there was to exclude *.lock (useless files anyway). This is the
equivalent to Dan's suggestion here.
It's scary to see a Restore error, but in these cases, they are no big deal.

I just discovered this:
19-Feb 18:43 dropbox-fd: RestoreFiles.2006-02-19_18.43.22 Error:
attribs.c:339 File size of restored file
/tmp/bacula-restores/var/lib/mysql/bacula/File.MYD n
ot correct. Original 115936, restored 116236.
19-Feb 18:43 dropbox-fd: RestoreFiles.2006-02-19_18.43.22 Error:
attribs.c:339 File size of restored file
/tmp/bacula-restores/var/log/mysql/mysql-bin.000007
not correct. Original 662506, restored 663027.
What could the problem be?
OK, I "self-answer" me: maybe those files where "in use" when backup
started, and in the restore process something (WHAT?) went wrong?
My theory:
When the FD took the file size, it was X. While backing the FD was
backing the file it, the file size changed to size Y.
My advice:
Don't backup files that can change. Use mysqldump instead. Then
backup the output of that. You can invoke MySQL dump in the
RunBefore job.
