I'm troubleshooting my backup strategy again.

For some reason, today all my jobs ran a full backup instead of the 
scheduled incremental. The messages say "Backup Level: Full (upgraded 
from Incremental)". In this particular example below, the most recent 
full backup happened on 11/30, with a few successful incremental backups 
in between.

How can I tell what criterion bacula used to upgrade these jobs? I would 
attach part of a bacula-dir.conf file as well, but I don't even know 
which resource to look for.

  Build OS:               x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu suse 5.x
  JobId:                  775
  Job:                    xxxx.2008-12-04_23.05.04
  Backup Level:           Full (upgraded from Incremental)
  Client:                 "xxxx-fd" 2.4.2 (26Jul08) 
i686-pc-linux-gnu,suse,5.x
  FileSet:                "Full Set" 2008-12-04 23:05:05
  Pool:                   "Full-1-Pool" (From Run FullPool override)
  Storage:                "Disk3" (From Pool resource)

One change I made yesterday: I excluded two additional directories in 
the Fileset for all my Linux clients, and then restarted bacula-dir. I 
can't see how that would make bacula think that a full backup is needed, 
though.

Thanks!
