Cbbackup: accumulative mode not working as documented?

Hi Anil,

I assume with ‘level 1 backup’ you mean accumulated?

It runs to back up all changes since Sunday level 0 backup.
So the Monday backup contains changes since Sunday, and Tuesday backup contains changes since Sunday and Monday and so forth

This is indeed what the manual suggests, but that is not how it behaves in CB E 3.0.1.

This is what I did:

  1. First I made a full backup
  2. Made some changes, say ‘changeset A’
  3. Run a cbbackup --mode accu: this contans changeset A
  4. Made some more changes (changeset B)
  5. Again run a cbbackup --mode accu: this should contain changesets A + B, but unfortunately it only contains changeset B.
