I think the problem is that the differential job started while the new full job was running. That caused it to choose the old full job for comparison, even though it didn't back up any files until after the new full job finished (presumably due to concurrency restrictions). __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
