Re: [Bacula-users] Incremental backups always full size

When I do "ls -l" in one of the directories being backed up, the timestamps 
shown are normal, each file has its own, mostly quite old modification date, 
and these have no easy correlation to any of the backups I've made.

The modification timestamp shown on "ls -l" is the same Bacula relies on, right?

Do you run any process that would change the timestamp on the files? In
one case, for example, I had a machine that was getting backed up
another way as well as Bacula and that other backup was touching all of
the files. If I recall, it uses the "change" time (ls -c) but I could be
wrong.
