Hi!

I am facing a funny problem with our backup server... since one week
one of the client backup has a strange behavior. We proceed with one
full backup every week. There are 2 directives to avoid taking a backup
of 2 directories (/tmp/dir1 and /tmp/dir2 for the example). Everything
worked fine until now. Now every night, the server starts a full backup
of that client or at least takes a full backup of /tmp, /tmp/dir1 and
/tmp/dir2 included!!

I've restarted NetWorker on the client: didn't help.
I've restarted NetWorker on the server: didn't help.
I've checked the index files for that client (nsrck -L 6): index files
seem to be ok.
Nothing relevant in the server/client logs...

Our install:
NetWorker server: Solaris 8 + NetWorker server 6.1.3
NetWorker client:  Linux Debian (2.4.19) + NetWorker client 6.1.2

Note: despite the fact that LEGATO doesn't support Debian, we never had
problems using NetWorker on Debian clients.

I simply don't know what is going on and how to tackle that problem...
Any idea? Does somebody already faced a similar problem? I am thinking
of rebooting both the server and the client but I don't like such an
extreme option specially that there is absolutely no guarantee it would
help...

Regards

David
