I can't be responsible for your data, but try something like this (based on
your email from July 24):

FileSet {
   Name = server_fileset
   Include {
     Options {
       exclude = yes

       # No need to backup cached apt files (but keep directories!!)
       regexfile = "^/var/cache/apt/.*\.(bin|deb)$"
       regexfile = ...
       regexdir = ...
       regexdir = ...
       regexdir = ...
     }
     Options {
       signature = SHA1
       ##sparse = yes
       xattrsupport = yes
       aclsupport = yes
       noatime = yes
       checkfilechanges = yes
     }
     File = "/"
     File = "/boot"
     File = "/var"
     File = "/mnt/..."
     File = "/mnt/..."
     File = "/mnt/..."
   }
   Exclude {
     File = "/var/cache/apache2/mod_disk_cache"
     File = "/var/tmp"
     File = "/mnt/..."
     File = "/mnt/..."
     File = "/mnt/..."
   }
}

All important backups must be tested periodically using restore!

I don't think this change will cause a full backup -- only changes to File=
and Plugin= lines will do that.
