Hi,

this may be a very unreasonable request.

If you run a full backup, then add to the fileset, then try and run an
incremental, I can see why a full backup is triggered.

I was taken by surprise recently when I added an exclude to a fileset and
triggered a full backup.  I guess the rule is "any changes to the fileset
will trigger a full backup" but is that really necessary on an exclude?

I can appreciate it might be quite complicated to work out what changes had
been made and determine if a full backup is necessary.

Gavin
