While the full needs after changes can be a burden, I'm not 100% sure to subscribe to not "forcing it" in a way or another. Every admin will have one day or another a change to setup in its filesets. Accurate will pick that ok, but then the time to restore will come, and I beat on the fact that there will be a lot of complains about why "my files are not there" expectation. The reason will be because at that time, the fileset didn't know about them, and nobody will remember at that time, a change occurs in the fileset, and no full were made again. I'm sorry if I'm not clear enough yet, I would like to see all the real scenario before jumping saying "bravo". Perhaps we need a fileset version in the database ? Or some options are minor, and other major ? Isn't there a way to trick bareos with the content of fileset table ? like saving the date of the previous hash for a given ressource, make the new one and bring back the old data ? -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot openSUSE Tumbleweed Linux 4.8.3-1-default x86_64 GNU/Linux, nvidia: 367.57 Qt: 5.7.0, KDE Frameworks: 5.26.0, Plasma: 5.8.2, kmail2 5.3.0 (QtWebEngine) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
