"Bacula's Differential and Incremental backups are based on time
stamps. Consequently, if you move files into an existing directory or
move a whole directory into the backup fileset after a Full backup,
those files will probably not be backed up by an Incremental save
because they will have old dates. You must explicitly update the
date/time stamp on all moved files (we have a project to correct this)."<br>
<br>
This is the reason why we created a program for our windows-clients
that is checking the files and directories of the backupfolders and if
it found some file
with an archiveflag it remove it and set a newer timestemp instead. Not
everybody is happy here if the timestemp changed but it´s better than
have no backup for a long time.<br>
<br>
However I don´t know if it is the same in Linux. I thought (after a few
tests) Linux is save :). We don´t use such program or script there. So
I´m interessted if this could be the reason for your problem.<br>

Is it possible that you have put the directory to the destination in a <br>
way that the timestemps did not change? Can you see all files when you <br>
try to select them for restore? I think there is a Problem when you
move <br>
files or directories but I thought this problem mainly depends only to <br>
Win-Clients.<br>
