stops changing and files examined keeps increasing.

It's probably examining files. Like during an incremental or differential backup. The SD looks at all files on the computer, but stores only the ones changed recently.


For example, here the backup of a router / proxy runs quite a while after /var/squid and /var/log are saved, but usually no files outside of these directory are stored.

Is this a cataloging operation?

No, I think the file count would not change during cataloging... at the end of a backup, when you use spooling there is a period of de-spooling the file metadata which can take quite long, though.


Backuppc supports some kind of archiving feature, I wonder if anyone has used this in conjunction with
bacula...

Erm. Perhaps. What does BackupPCs archiving do?

Thanks,
Jeff
