I started with the obvious - job 665 completed a full backup
successfully, client's name is still the same.
I do change the exclude list to get rid of large working directories,
so I have "Ignore FileSet Changes = yes"

27-May 14:59 fileserver-dir JobId 681: No prior Full backup Job record found.
27-May 14:59 fileserver-dir JobId 681: No prior or suitable Full
backup found in catalog. Doing FULL backup.

This probably has to be the most frequently asked question you guys
get - is there a way to
trace the promotion logic?
