Hi,

I have a big problem with Bacula and the backup of my Cyrus mail store:
it is backing up way too much.

When doing incremental it's supposed to look at modify time (which for
many mails - one file per e-mail - is months or years past), but it
appears to look at the access time instead.

Result: yesterday I moved a big mail folder with subfolders, causing the
access time but not the modify time of all contents to change, and now
Bacula is backing up everything. Looking at the restore function in
bconsole, I see the file time given is the access time, not the modify
time.

When doing `ls -la` I see the original modify time, long time ago.
When doing `ls -lu` I see the access time, which is the time these mail
boxes were moved (yesterday).
And when doing `dir` in `bconsole` the time that I see is the access
time; not the modify time!

How to stop this unnecessary backup? It's annoying and wasting disk
space.

Wouter.
