Unfortunately, restoring a file will set its ctime to the current time and
there is not much you can do about that.

By default, Bacula uses the ctime and mtime to detect changes for incremental
backups.  You could set the mtimeonly=yes fileset option, but that would cause
you to lose incremental backups of files where the permissions have been
changed or someone has manipulated the mtime to be in the past.
