[Bacula-users] force backup of unchanged file in incremental backup

2011-04-14 Thread James Harper
The last modified datestamp on MSSQL database files doesn't get changed unless the actual file dimensions change (eg it 'grows') or when the file is closed. This means that an incremental backup won't necessarily back up the database files unless they have changed. Accurate won't catch this either

Hello, AFAIK, you should never backup MSSQL databases when they are running. If you do so, the database will try to recover from a crash and you can loose data pieces. Files do not reflect the status of the database. VSS by itself assures 'crash consistent' backups, eg the file is in the
