I think you'll find it depends on what was backed up.  Reading this page:

http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html#SECTION001870000000000000000

"However, one additional point is that in the case that no match was
found, Bacula will use the options found in the last Options resource. As
a consequence, if you want a particular set of "default" options, you
should put them in an Options resource after any other Options. "

Thus, sometimes your backup matched a previous Options clause, and
sometimes it did not.
