One question,
Did /tmp/bacula-test/dir2 contain files created/modified before job 234?
And if so, did Bacula back them up?
Imagine this scenario:
1) /tmp/bacula-test/dir2 is created and files copied into it.
2) Full Job 234 runs and does a full backup of /tmp/bacula-test/dir1
3) More files are added to /tmp/bacula-test/dir2
4) Fileset is updated to include /tmp/bacula-test/dir2
5) Incr Job 235 runs.
Will job 235 only backup files created/modified since the last full
backup? Or is Bacula smart enough to recognise it's never backed this
directory up at all before and include all of it's contents.
Based on the following snippet from the docs, I suspect the former:
"We strongly recommend against
setting this directive to yes, since doing so may cause you to
have an incomplete set of backups."
Cheers,
Troy.
