If I have 2 groups one of which does a skip or a null for /disk/filesystemA
If group one that runs at 4am does a skip of /disk/filesystemA but a
level 9 of everything else
and group two that runs at 2am does an incremental backup of
/disk/filesystemA
When the second days backups run should group two backup all files that
have changed since ~2am the previous day ? I would expect this to happen.
The skip happens because filesystemA has a .nsr file at its head with
+skip: * (could also be +null: *)
group 2 ignores .nsr files
What looks to be happening is that group one marks that it has done a
level 9 backup of the filesystem with nothing in it and the incremental
is relative to the level 9.
Would it be better is the skip was done from directives instead of a
.nsr file ?
