Hello,

I have a problem when bacula tried to backup a folder that contains some
files changed often.

For example: i backup the folder /var/samba

And for some reason, some big files in this folder are accessed by other
programs and therefore their attribute "chang" (st_atime) is changed. As a
consequence of that, bacula backups that file in the following incremental
backup.


The final result is that those such files eat up all of my disk space.

In my opinion, i have 2 ways to solve that problem but i dont know if
they're feasible.
1) Do a full backup, but incremental backup don't include those files .  Is
it possible to create a fileset for a full backup and another fileset for
the incrementals.for that case ?

2) In the fileset, those files will be treated in a different way like the
configuation below:

FileSet {
        Name = "fs_samba_system"

    File = /var/samba
        Include {
                Options {
                        signature = SHA1
                        onefs = no
            Wildfile = "*badFile.pdf"
                  Exclude = yes
                }
        }
    Include {
        File = /var/samba
        Options {
            WildFile = "*badFile.pdf"
            Signature = SHA1
            mtimeonly=yes
        }
        Options {
            Exclude = yes
            RegexFile = ".*"
        }
    }

} Is it right for what i described above ?

and is there another better solution ?

Thanks in advance,

Truc
