I'm still doing some experimentation on this, indeed.

OK, but if mountpoint change, so change root path, so... how can bacula do
incrementals, if all path are different?!

So.
I can use script for the list of path to backup; i can use 'Ignore FileSet Changes = yes'
(but if i use script i think it is not needed...) but how can bacula do
incrementals?


> Oh wait, I think I realize something. The snapshots do not have to be explicitly mounted to be available for backup (at least on FreeBSD).

Never minded about that. Probably you can mount a snapshot with
'-o mountpoint=...'. But now i'm curious...


> Is this the problem you are trying to solve? mounting the snapshot to back it up?

Yes. But i need incrementals too. ;-)
