After rebuilding, paths were slightly different, or at least the file times were, so when I re-allowed daily incrementals it effectively did a full backup. Now, about a month later, it did a differential, again effectively a full backup. While differential was running, two daily incrementals were scheduled. I draw a distinction between 'scheduled' and 'started', I'm not sure if you have the same difference in your usage. Anyway it ran two incrementals, both of which backed up the same data (as per files and filesize in log). Both started hours after the differential was finished, and the second over an hour after the first finished, with other jobs inbetween. My point is that the first incremental was done correctly, the second was an unnecessary duplication, because (it appears to me), it decided too soon what needs to be backed up. Alf said I need to look at the 'duplicate jobs' setting, but that sounds like a work-around rather than addressing the core issue, ie when does Bacula decide what needs to be backed up... when scheduled or when run. The second may be an exact duplicate when scheduled, but the data may have changed by run time.
