Scheduled backup logs show every single file even if they haven't changed

Hi everyone, I’m a longtime user of the Duplicacy web GUI and I’ve just reinstalled it on my Windows 11 machine. I’ve setup a simple backup schedule like I usually do that runs every morning at 1am. I’ve noticed now after it ran for a few days that the logs show every single file on the backup path rather than just the new or changed files. Is there a param I can add to the GUI to only log files that are new or changed? I could swear this is how it behaved for years. I like to sanity check the logs and I can’t tell what it’s doing any longer when all the files are logged.

Thanks for your help!

I think I have an idea of what is happening. I’ve setup a new storage location and then I added a bunch of backups to the storage location, but also pointed all of the backups to the same backup ID. I believe I used to use a different backup ID for each of the backups to the same storage location. So logically what I believe is happening is the first one runs to the backup ID, and then the second one runs to the same backup ID and all the files are different (because they’re a different folder), and Duplicity behaves in the same way as if I changed all the files.

I’m going to delete the storage location and the backup IDs and then recreate them and I won’t re-use the same backup IDs again.
