Hello :)

Does anybody have any nice alternative to base jobs (project number 6)?

The problem I'm trying to resolve here is backing up a folder and 100 copies 
of it with small changes (in Windows).

The solution I thought on myself:
1) Share all the folders for backing them up via mount_smbfs
2) Mount the first "template" folder (eg. //win/template) somewhere 
(eg. /mnt/win)
3) Perform a full backup of the mountpoint (/mnt/win) to get a "template"
4) Unmount the "template" and mount a changed copy of the folder (//win/copy1) 
to the same place (/mnt/win)
5) Perform a differential/incremental backup of the mountpoint (/mnt/win) to 
get only the changes
6) Repeat steps 4&5 with all the copies of the folder

I actually tried this too, but it didn't work - I successfully created the 
full backup (3), but differential/incremental backups of the copies (that 
actually had some files changed and some more files put into them) didn't 
include any files.
That arised a question how are the changes of a folder actually inspected - 
isn't a folder just scanned for any new or changed files?

Can anyone think of a better solution to the problem?

Does anyone know how is the status of "base jobs" in Bacula?
