Hi list,
I'm using Bacula 7.0.5 on Ubuntu 16.04. I configured daily incremental backups in accurate mode, with accurate options "mcs". Since upgrading to Ubuntu 16.04 and Bacula 7.0.5 I experience really huge incremental backups.
Estimate gives me 1,943,557 files that will be backed up on next incremental backup. One example from estimate output:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1371 2015-12-13 12:06:43 /etc/rsyslog.conf
While stat /etc/rsyslog.conf results in:
File: '/etc/rsyslog.conf'
Size: 1371 Blocks: 8 IO Blocks: 4096 regular file
Device: 801h/2049d Inode: 13909238 Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: ( 0/ root) Gid: ( 0/ root)

I interpret option "accurate = mcs" as: "A file will be backed up, if mtime, ctime or size has changed since the last backup." As one can see from the above stat output none of the three has changed. I therefore do not understand why this file (and several thousand other files) get backed up every night.
My FileSet config looks like this:
FileSet {
Name = "FileSet_Alles_Linux"
Ignore FileSet Changes = yes
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
accurate = mcs
_onefs_ = no
compression = gzip
noatime = yes
xattrsupport = yes
}
File = /
}
Exclude {
File = /sys
File = /var/lib/bacula
File = /proc
File = /dev
File = /tmp
File = /.journal
File = /.fsck
File = /srv/bacula
File = /var/spool/squid
}
}
The job is running as an incremental job and is not upgraded during runtime.
Any help is highly appreciated. If you need any further information, let me know!
Thanks
Marvin
