Hi Martin, hi all

Thanks a lot for your answers !

Here's what I can get for one job "BackupARCHIVES" (21 To of datas... the
small one :)

*estimate level=incremental job=BackupARCHIVES
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Connecting to Client lto8-fd at localhost:9102
2000 OK estimate files=474,483 bytes=21,675,206,135,474


Or

*estimate accurate=yes level=incremental job=BackupARCHIVES
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
Connecting to Client lto8-fd at localhost:9102
2000 OK estimate files=474,483 bytes=21,675,206,135,474


The result should be some Go of datas only...

My fileset :

FileSet {
  Name = "ARCHIVES"
  Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
  Include {
    Options {
                signature = MD5
                Accurate = mcso5 # I tried also here with so5
    }
        File = /mnt/BIGNAS1/ARCHIVES
  }

  Exclude {
        File = "/mnt/BIGNAS1/ARCHIVES/#recycle"
        File = "/mnt/BIGNAS1/ARCHIVES/.DS_Store"
  }
}

And

*select * from fileset where fileset='ARCHIVES' order by CreateTime desc;*

gives one row, the "former" fileset :

"filesetid" "fileset" "md5" "createtime"
> "44" "ARCHIVES" "q6/YhHgFh/tVI8YO76/asD" "2024-06-07 12:21:00"


Also : *SELECT * FROM "public"."job" where name = 'BackupARCHIVES' *
gives me 19 rows corresponding to the former incremental BackupARCHIVES job.

What is weird is that Bacula didn't create another fileset. Maybe it
doesn't require it for estimate but only for a run ?

What if I run the job, abort it, erase it and give to the new fileset (that
I suppose would be created ?) the filesetid 44 ? Would it "tell" bacula
that the former jobs were done with this new fileset (thus Incremental
would be "repaired" ) ?
What else could I try ?

Thx a lot !
