Hi list,
I'm using Bacula 7.0.5 on Ubuntu 16.04. I configured daily incremental
backups in accurate mode, with accurate options "mcs". Since upgrading to
Ubuntu 16.04 and Bacula 7.0.5 I experience really huge incremental backups.
Estimate gives me 1,943,557 files that will be backed up on next
incremental backup. One example from estimate output:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1371 2015-12-13 12:06:43
/etc/rsyslog.conf
While stat /etc/rsyslog.conf results in:
File: '/etc/rsyslog.conf'
Size: 1371 Blocks: 8 IO Blocks: 4096 regular file
Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 13909238 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)
Access : 2016-08-07 09:34:50.309697861 +0200
Modify: 2015-09-01 08:56:48.000000000 +0200
Change : 2015-12-13 12:06:43.977985007 +0100
Birth : -
I interpret option "accurate = mcs" as: "A file will be backed up, if
mtime, ctime or size has changed since the last backup." As one can see
from the above stat output none of the three has changed. I therefore do
not understand why this file (and several thousand other files) get backed
up every night.
My FileSet config looks like this:
FileSet {
Name = "FileSet_Alles_Linux"
Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
accurate = mcs
onefs = no
compression = gzip
noatime = yes
xattrsupport = yes
}
File = /
}
Exclude {
File = /sys
File = /var/lib/bacula
File = /proc
File = /dev
File = /tmp
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
File = /srv/bacula
File = /var/spool/squid
}
}
The job is running as an incremental job and is not upgraded during runtime.
Any help is highly appreciated. If you need any further information, let me
know!
Thanks
Marvin
