Unfortunately, restoring a file will set its ctime to the current time and there is not much you can do about that. By default, Bacula uses the ctime and mtime to detect changes for incremental backups. You could set the mtimeonly=yes fileset option, but that would cause you to lose incremental backups of files where the permissions have been changed or someone has manipulated the mtime to be in the past. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenSolaris 2009.06 is a cutting edge operating system for enterprises looking to deploy the next generation of Solaris that includes the latest innovations from Sun and the OpenSource community.
