You only need to set Ignore FileSet Changes = yes if you change a File= or Plugin= line. The options are ignored. __Martin > On Tue, 10 Nov 2020 11:00:59 -0500, B Smith said: > > Well, that answers that! I suppose it isn't the end of the world, though it > will use up a lot more of my tape

Well, that answers that! I suppose it isn't the end of the world, though it will use up a lot more of my tapes than I'd hoped. I suppose there's no reason to do the md5 comparison, then. One final question: if I want to change accurate to pinsmc but not start a whole new full backup, do I need to

I suppose I misinterpreted this from the manual: "In accurate mode, the File daemon knows exactly which files were present after the last backup. So it is able to handle deleted or renamed files. When restoring a FileSet for a specified date (including "most recent"), Bacula is able to restore ex

Bacula doesn't have any code to match a renamed file with a previous file. It just makes a backup of every unknown file or those that match the Accurate options. Note that if you remove "5" from the Accurate options then you will need to add "mc" to make it detect changes to existing files. __Ma

Hi, Thanks for the response. My (incorrect, I suppose) understanding was that Accurate=pins5 would just look at an unknown file and determine if it was an existing file that had been renamed. In that case, I'm fine with taking the extra time to calculate the MD5 to verify the correspondence of the
