Hello,

I have a full backup of my files where one directory is in the wrong place. I moved the directory to
the correct location in my directory structure. The incremental after that did backup the moved
directory but did not show any of the files or directories in the moved directory in the new
location. A restore of that directory only created the directory and none of the sub files or sub
directories. I believe when I do the next full backup in July, this situation should be corrected
but should it have backed up all of the files in this moved directory or should this be considered a
bug to be reported?
This is the normal behaviour if you move files in the filesystem. As the incremental backup checks
the timestamps of the files to determine if they need to be backed up or not, and the timestamps of
the files in the moved directory are not touched, the files will not be backed up.
You can use "accurate" backup mode to also handle this situation, please see
https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_Accurate
In accurate mode, not only the timestamp is considered, but the whole filelist of the previous
backup is sent over to the filedaemon and compared to what is currently in the filesystem.
Another quick solution for your problem would also to "touch" all files in the moved directory so
that the incremental backup will pick up those files.

Pool = "Photos"
Client = "Photos-fd"

Priority = 11
}
JobDefs {
Name = "Unscheduled_Common_Attributes"

WriteBootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"
MaximumConcurrentJobs = 7
AllowMixedPriority = yes
AllowDuplicateJobs = no
