Hi all,

I wonder what would happen if I changed a FileSet so that a Full is
forced, then run the job for one client, then revert the change to the
FileSet.

Would this force Fulls for all other clients nevertheless or is a
FileSet change revertible?

What I want to do:
I want to add a "FS Type" line to FileSet->Include->Options without
triggering a Full for all clients.
My idea is to set "Ignore File Set Changes = yes", then change the
FileSet, let all clients do another incremental, then revert back to
"Ignore File Set Changes = no" (default)

Would this work?

TIA
-Marc

As far as I remember (i.e. please test this first) the FileSet's
checksum is only calculated over the File and Plugin lines. So a change
in options shouldn't trigger a full anyway.

Best Regards,
Andreas
