Backup Data - Full instead of Incremental

I have a Nethserver 7.4 set up with incremental backup but it does a full backup every time.
The logs are clean, no errors.
Once the backup is done, write the result on a file to understand that the next must be an incremental?
Is it possible that the problem is there?

Hi @RiccardoC,

with config show backup-data you may check your settings. To which destination do you backup?

This is an example config for backup to smb share:

backup-data=configuration
    BackupTime=22:25
    CleanupOlderThan=7D
    FullDay=0
    LogFile=/var/log/last-backup.log
    Mount=/mnt/backup
    NFSHost=
    NFSShare=
    Program=duplicity
    SMBHost=192.168.67.232
    SMBLogin=
    SMBPassword=
    SMBShare=backup
    Type=incremental
    USBLabel=
    VFSType=cifs
    VolSize=250
    WebDAVLogin=
    WebDAVPassword=
    WebDAVUrl=
    notify=error
    notifyFrom=some@mail
    notifyTo=some@mail
    status=enabled

Yes, shell parameters coincides with web interface.
Type is incremental.

I backup to NAS (cifs)

And you only get duplicity-full and no duplicity-inc files?
With backup-data you can start the backup for testing.

In /var/log/last-backup.log you should see the last full backup date:

Last full backup date: Sun Feb 25 22:25:19 2018

Some docs about the backup:

Yes, only duplicity.-full.

The log say:
Last full backup date: none
Last full backup is too old, forcing full backup

But last backup is full too… So seems unable to find it.
My question is:
Where Backup-data read last full backup executed?

Nas 28-02-2018:

Config:

Duplicity files are cached in /var/lib/nethserver/backup/duplicity/.

http://docs.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver-devel/en/v7/nethserver-backup-data.html#duplicity

Duplicity checks if the full backup exists, do you move the backuped files away from the share?
