Force real full backup with ZFS or BTRFS

[chanceellis]

In the server admin manual under section 8.5.4 it mentions that

This option has no effect with the btrfs file system and the raw image file format because full images will be disabled automatically there.

I am running ZFS as the backend so assume the same is correct. When I try to run a full image backup after a series of incrementals have already run, it still only creates an incremental image. I would like the full image backups to download the entire volume again into a new backup image.

Is there a way this can be accomplished?

I should also add that the clients are running the CBT client.

Server is 2.1.19 on ubuntu and client version is 2.1.18cbt

You should try to reset cbt on the client :

Force a full image volume backup with ZFS backend

Yeah, cbt reset with cd C:\Program files\UrBackup urbctclt reset x: may help. Can you also investigate if only MFT!=MFTMirr is the problem? Use losetup --offset=$((512*1024)) to setup the volume. Then use ntfsfix to fix the NTFS error. If this is something the naturally occurs, there is already code in UrBackup to fix it…

Thank you! I will give that a try!
