(I just started using Bacula, so I don't know if this is actually possible!) I also looked into this same "problem". I solution I was thinking about is to let Bacula run a check to compare the real data with the backup. this should produce a nice list of file and directories that are different. I then can then touch these files, so the will be backuped in the next incremental backup. Does anyone know is this is possible? I'm running Bacula on Debian Linux, use file volumes (on the Debian box) and all clients are winXP. Jaap. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
