Interesting... it shouldn't be like that. > But I wanted the FileSet to be on the Client, because I'm changing it! > > As stated in the manual (11.3 The Job Resource - Incremental): > "any change to the definition of the FileSet such as adding or deleting a > file in the Include or Exclude sections constitutes a different FileSet."

No... it should create a new fileset, which is then used and starts with a full backup. > Any Ideas on how to fix it?

This is an administrative nightmare IMO. Anyway, I don't understand why there needs to be a comparison. Bacula uses the fileset as it reads it. If it changes, it either considers it new and starts with a full backup. If you set the Ignore Fileset Changes switch, it simply uses what it reads. Directoris you remove from the fileset will not be backed up, and directories added will also be backed up. If you want to add or remove things to or from an existing fileset, you have to do so in the fileset definition, this is not something Bacula can do automatically. Keep in mind that user-generated filesets are a really good way to use much more backup space than necessary if they contain lists like his: /home/user /home/user/important /home/user/savegames /home/user/Mail You need lots of cryptic shell code to eliminate this sort of redundancy...
