Ok... though there are virus scanner for unix systems, too :-)

Good.

So I think we can assume Bacula correctly picked the files to backup.

If that's the case, Bacula somehow ignored the full backup for the 
first incremental.

Apart from my other suggestion - the incremental job being upgraded 
before the full job finished - I can not easily imagine why this would 
happen.

You'd have to be able to reproduce it for further analysis, I fear.

But perhaps you still have the complete job report from the first 
incremental (the one that behaved like a full). Can you re-send it, 
and also add the job report from the first full plus the job 
definition and schedule used?

I fear this thread has become too long for me to find the relevant 
information in the older mails :-(
