The situation is bacula has been doing a full backup of a CCTV system which 
goes back 2 years, its over 20 tapes. We want to keep these online, and hav 
bacula just backup the new videos as its doing now. In the server, there were 
several disks so the policy was to create one root folder per year, e.g. 2014, 
and have symlinks under for the 12 months /2014/01-Jan, 2014/02-Feb etc. That's 
because they took up so much disk space the actual folders were scattered 
around different drives. All was well with bacula - an incremental job, which 
on first run was promoted to full, was carefully set up so it followed these 
symlinks and has put all the data on the 20 tapes.

We now have added bigger disks and so want to move the target folders to them. 
From the top level, the 2014, 2015 "tree" hasn't changed, that's the point of 
symlinks. But bacula sees the symlink as changed so wants to run the whole job 
again. What I really want is to move the files over, but tell bacula to ignore 
these "artifical" changes, otherwise we'll be pointlessley filling up another 
20 tapes just to get back to where we are now.

Thanks - an please don't assume there is an easy answer I should know about, 
I'm not that clued up!!!
