this seems normal to me. you sould perhaps have not only one job per machine. so when you add some paths that you know will be removed soon, create a new fileset and add a new job with this fileset.

Hi,
I noticed that changing the FileSet content changes bacula behaviour : a scheduled incremental backup becomes a full backup in such a case. This is a problem for me because :
- I shall change the FileSet ressource often
- I'm backing up to disk with a fixed volumes number.

Let's take an example:

I have set the Max Volumes to 3 for one of my machines, so, when a change comes, a full backup is done and one of my 3 full backup volumes is used. Thus, when the next full backup time comes, bacula hangs with th usual message "waiting for appendable media", because this is now the fourth backup of this type, and so on...

Is there a way to avoid that, or to free the oldest volume after a FileSet change? What I did is delete the oldest volume by hand then use the 'delete' command in bconsole, but I guess there is a cleaner way to do it.

Cheers.
