Some additional input:
- Disabling accurate mode results in a "resonable" list of files from the
estimate command.
- Changing accurate options does not change the files displayed with
estimate. Even specifing a size-only check (accurate = s) results in the
estimate list containing all files.
- This issue seems present will all of my Ubuntu bacula clients.
Thanks
