Hi Craig and Martin,
Thanks for your help. After running stat, I could realize that an old
backup-script makes the problem. It runs every day in the morning at 2AM and
it had the following in it: tar cP --atime-preserve path/to/files
The tar with this switch changes the atime every day and that caused Bacula
backup so many files again and again.
Thanks again for your help! :)
cheers,
Zsolt
