Thanks for the comments. I've checked, and Incrementals run Tuesday to
Sunday, and Fulls on Monday morning, so they aren't running twice :
Schedule {
Name = "Default"
Run = Level=Full mon at 1:00
Run = Level=Incremental tue-sun at 1:00
}
Even if I only select the single Incremental backup in BAT, I can still
see that files were included twice in that one backup job. I can still
see this behaviour if I start a backup manually during the day, when I
can confirm that there are no other jobs running.

What's your schedules look like?
I would suspect that you have incremental and FULL running at the same
time, and if there is not a pre-existing FULL then the incremental is
upgraded to a full.
I changed the priority of my incrementals so that they don't run while
fulls are running.

Hi all,
I have a strange issue with one of my Bacula servers, as it seems to be
backing up files on my clients twice during a session. I first noticed
this on Bacula 2.4.4 (Debian Lenny), but have just upgraded the server
to 5.0.2 (Debian Squeeze), and the problem persists. I first noticed it
because the disk volumes (I'm using HD backup, not to tape) for full
backups were twice the size of the actual systems being backed up - e.g.
a system using 4GB ended up with an 8GB backup volume.
When I examine the backups with BAT, I can see multiple copies of the
same file for each backup job. For example, I have attached a screenshot
showing a file (/var/log/messages) on one system - you can see different
file Ids, but it's included twice. I thought it might be a catalog
issue, so as an extreme measure, I dropped the catalog DB (MySQL),
recreated empty tables and started everything from scratch again. The
problem persisted, and I still have files being backed up twice.
Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this issue ? Apart from
files being included twice, everything else seems to work OK... I will
of course post a follow up with any solutions!
Regards,
