We are doing testing with the product and we broke our raid array on purpose destroying where the data was stored. We then created a new array for the storage of urbackup. I noticed it still thinks the full file backups exist and thus is just doing incrementals and still only sending changes.
My questions are as follows:
1 - Is this the desired outcome?
2 - how can we clear the backups logs / cache so they can re run as fulls again automatically the next time the jobs run?
I am also getting this and I checked permissions and it appears to be correct on the server. Other clients are backing up just fine.

If you are not using btrfs as filesystem it should still download all the missing files. You can sync UrBackup and the filesystem by running http://www.urbackup.org/Administration_Manual.php?#x1-590009.4 . This only works if the complete backup folder is missing.
The error message you get appears, if it cannot create the file /var/urbackup/clientlist_$CLIENTID_new.ub or C:\Program Files\UrBackupServer\urbackup\clientlist_$CLIENTID_new.ub . Maybe a permission problem? Consider looking at it manually.
