This has come up again, and I wanted to post the answer here to help future
searchers. The real problem was bacula can't back up symlinks, yet the data
behind them could physically move across disks etc but in reality remain
unchanged.
What I didn't know then is that linux can mount one folder
Thanks everyone for the help.
I have a solution, but it's not along the lines suggested. The real problem
here is we have 1 pool for all the backups going back years. Disturbing that
pool, as we've seen, causes data already backed up to be backed up again. So I

I've never tried this option in FileSet, but you can try:
Ignore FileSet Changes = Normally, if you modify the FileSet Include or

guarantee that any additions or deletions are properly saved. We strongly
recommend agains
Ok so somewhere in the completed backup set were 2 symlinks, ~/01-Jan and

it want to back up those two months of CCTV again. I need to under

Symlinks are backed up as symlinks, so to full resolve a filename including
symlinks, you need to
The file is the same if the full path, having resolved all symlinks, is the

The situation is bacula has been doing a full backup of a CCTV system which
goes back 2 years, its over 20 tapes. We want to keep these online, and hav
