I am sure this topic has been covered in a previous thread or in the manual, but my cursory searches have produced no results. So here is the problem:
I recently added added a Win2k3 server to by list of clients that I am backing up. That night, I did a Full Backup, while completed successfully. However, the following night, an Incremental job ran which backed up nearly half of the drive. Here are the lines from 'list jobs': | 579 | KauaiBackup | 2006-04-04 09:37:55 | B | F | 34,190 | 4,320,490,066 | T | (snip) | 581 | KauaiBackup | 2006-04-05 03:10:45 | B | I | 12,492 | 2,448,604,771 | T | KauaiBackup is the job. As you can see, the Full backup was about 4.3G, but the following day, the incremental was 2.4G. Quite large for an incremental. I had read in the past (but I am unable to find now) about how mtime and/or how bacula determines if a file needs to be backed up can cause these types of problems for windows systems. The incremental is not the same size as the full, so not every files is getting updated. On the night in question, nothing interesting happened, such as applying updates. Also, there were no users logged into it yet. Has anyone seen any behavior like this? Any thought/suggestions are welcome.
