Dear Sirs:

I have read the Bacula documentation, especially regarding the "Accurate" 
option for incremental backups, looking for an alternative that allows incremental 
backups to be performed, considering files that have undergone size changes as changed, 
and not considering changes in file timestamps.

Hello,

Yes, with Accurate mode, you can tell Bacula which attributes to check and 
which to ignore. Check out the documentation here:

https://docs.baculasystems.com/BETechnicalReference/Director/DirectorResourceTypes/FilesetResource/index.html#technicalreferencedirfilesetresource

In your case, you might have something like:
----8<----
Fileset {
  Name = xxxx
  Include {
    Options {
      compression = zstd
      signature = sha1
      accurate = s
    }
    File = /path/to/files
  }
}
----8<----

And make sure to have `Accurate = yes` in your Job that uses this fileset.


Hope this helps,

Bill
