Using 'o' in the fileset accurate option has caused problems with restore for another user on the list recently. I don't know if it could also break estimate. Have you used the 'o' option in previous incremental backups? Accurate backups assume that the full path to each file is the same as befo

Hello all, Sorry for this late reply. (According to Murphy's law, our Bacula server failed, and it took some time to figure out that the SAS card was dead, and get another one ...) I did some tests, and there's something new : In fact, the fileset seems to be OK, and the Incremental "could" resu

Hi all again and many thanks for your help ! Thanks to you for this answer Robert. You say : "I am nearly certain that your FD name may be different than originally specified on your first bacula configuration." The name hasn't changed : I took it back from the database (in the fileset.fileset fi

A fileset in bacula does not have to be specific to one job. I understand that in your case it is specific to one or more jobs, and one server in particular, but it doesn't have to be job specific. For example you could back up many systems with one fileset if you only wanted to back up the same fi

I had a scenario sort of like this. My backup environment involves a bacula FD running on a server and that server connects to a NAS appliance via SMB. This is the only access I have to that NAS appliance, so I cannot run an FD locally on the appliance. I ran into some system issues in my original

Just to be sure, are you setting level=Incremental in the estimate command? Are there any messages in bconsole after running the estimate command (use the messages command to check)? In particular, look for "The FileSet ... was modified on ..." or "No prior or suitable Full backup found..." Did
