Incremental Index-Backup

Hello together,

I have a separate pool configured within NetWorker to backup the index and bootstrap informations. I always thought that NetWorker would do an incremental/level save of these two backup pieces.

Now I recognized that it is always a FULL

mminfo -avot -q 'pool=INDEX,savetime>24 hours ago' -r level,name,savetime

full bootstrap                  12/14/17
full index:client         12/14/17
full index:client             12/14/17
full index:client             12/14/17
full index:client             12/14/17
full index:client             12/14/17
full index:client             12/14/17
full index:client             12/14/17
full index:client             12/14/17
full index:client             12/14/17

The configuration of the INDEX pool is mostly default, just the save set field contains this:

index: *

bootstrap

And of course a dedicated DataDomain device is used.

Is that regular behaviour of NetWorker?

Cheers

Jan

Please post the solution later - I am not the only one who would be interested.

This can happen when someone messes up with /etc/hosts and changes order of short and long names (fqdn).  I agree that having alias in server's client should make NW smart enough this is the same client, but something somewhere in the code makes it act differently.
