Hello Ian, The concept of schedule and start times are the same I guess. One is the one that you set in your schedule resource and the other is the time that the job starts running. Usually, they are slightly different. Again, if you have duplicated jobs starting and you do not want this situatio

Something is wrong here I just posted about this exact thing. I moved 48TB from one NAS to the other, rsync -avz --numeric-ids All dates/times were identical between the two, but when I mounted new at same mount points, everything was happy, EXCEPT BACULA which proceeded to do incrementals, se

Hello Ian, Bacula decides what to backup when the job starts. For differential ones, the mtime and ctime are checked against the start time of the last full backup job. For incremental ones, these times are checked agains the start time of the last full/incremental/differential one. If you run a

Hi All It seems to me that Bacula makes unnecessary duplicate backups. I have 1. Daily incremental 2. Monthly differential 3. Annual full. However one of the backups is over 3.5 TB, and the system only manages about 100GB/hour. So the differential backup (in this case) ran for more than 24 hou
