Hello,

Most likely you edited the .conf file and modified the
FileSet.  If that is the case, listing all the FileSets recorded
in the database will show multiple copies of the FileSet
record with different hashes.

In most cases, other than changing the FileSet, Bacula
clearly indicates why it is upgrading a level.  In the case
of a FileSet change, it prints a notice saying something
like a valid Full could not be found.

The probability that there is a new bug introduced between
5.2.1 and 5.2.2 is probably about 0.0001% since there were very
few coding changes except for bug fixes.

Regards,
Kern
