Hello. In an installation I manage, there's a NAS with lot of data that is backed up with the usual Full/Diff/Inc schedule. On this NAS it's quite frequent to have sweeping permission changes; alas these almost translate an Incremental backup into a Full one. I don't care about permissions: I can set them up automatically after a restore, so I'd like to avoid this. What's the proper way to tell Bacula NOT to backup a file if only its permission changed? Or, again, don't backup permissions at all, if the above is not feasible? I also thought about using "accurate: mco1", which should backup the permissions, but not the files themself. This could do... Before putting it into production, though, are there any caveat? Any other idea? bye & Thanks av.
