What I mean is that if I have a drive removed, run the job then attach the drive and run the job again, Bacula will do a full backup of the drive even if it previously had done an incremental backup on the same drive. Ideally I want it to just continue the incremental backup.
At the moment I need to remember to remove the drive from the fileset then add it again when it's online. Sometimes I forget and.. well... I really wish I could control this behavior. It says in the manual this is deliberately so, in order to ensure the backup is correct, but I find it would be very helpful if I could switch this on or off. Thomas - the dynamic fileset looks interesting. I will try it. Thank you.
