Hello,

I'm a fairly new Bacula user (all daemons running on same machine-Ubuntu804 and a FD on Windows XP Home client).  I've set up a Full backup of a drive on the client that ran on Saturday and have an incremental backup of the same fileset done on Monday.  Having noticed that the file size was large for the two day's worth of data, I excluded the Windows swap file from the fileset.

Today's incremental however wouldn't run.  Bacula insisted on running a new full backup.

I'm aware that this is because I have changed the fileset, but read about an option (Ignore FileSet Changes = yes) that is supposed to ignore that fact and continue to perform incrementals.  After adding this and reloading the configuration, Bacula still won't perform an incremental backup.

Is there a reason why it still refuses to run an incremental backup (I deleted the JobID for the failed promoted Full backup with the delete JobIB command)?

Many thanks,

Graham
