Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] including a file twice

 

I'd imagine that since files get backed up according to their absolute paths in 
the file system that you'd only get one copy. That's just a guess from doing 
restores and poking around at the database. If not, I'd imagine that the 
scenario could really make muck up a backup. How would it know where to seek in 
the tape? I guess it could just select the first position and ignore the 
second....
