I'm trying to find out why some files are backup up every night despite
not having changed.

Following is the report from the last three days.

The next 6 tapes Amanda expects to use are: MyConfig01, MyConfig02,
MyConfig03, MyConfig04, MyConfig05, MyConfig16.

If I interpret the report correctly,  some files (5GB+) have been backed
up on both days.

Looking at the index for both backups, I found and picked some of the
files/directories  (randomly)

Looking at these files, they have not changed

---------------------

My question is, why are they being backed up, or is my assumption that
the index only contains files that were backup up incorrect?

Thanks
