I have wrote a small patch to add this feature to bacula. you can find it on the current svn (bacula/patches/testing/fd_checkchanges.readme) This patch asks to fd to do an extra check (syscall stat(2)) after each file backup. mtime, ctime and size are compared with "before backup" informations. If time or size mismatch, an error will raise. It adds a new fileset option FileSet { Include { Options { CheckChanges = yes # no by default } File=/var/log } } Output : 17-fév 18:03 zog-fd: Client1.2007-02-17_18.02.21 Error: /tmp/bacula/etc/toto have changed during backup. 17-fév 18:03 zog-fd: Client1.2007-02-17_18.02.21 Error: /tmp/bacula/var/bacula/working/bacula.db size have changed during backup. 17-fév 18:03 zog-sd: Job write elapsed time = 00:00:03, Transfer rate = 22.94 M bytes/second 17-fév 18:03 zog-dir: Bacula 2.1.4 (12Feb07): 17-fév-2007 18:03:01 JobId: 3 Job: Client1.2007-02-17_18.02.21 Backup Level: Incremental, since=2007-02-17 17:58:56 Client: "zog-fd" 2.1.4 (12Feb07) i686-pc-linux-gnu,debian,testing/unstable FileSet: "Full Set" 2007-02-17 17:57:36 Pool: "Default" (From Job resource) Storage: "File" (From Job resource) Scheduled time: 17-fév-2007 18:02:19 ...
