First, I have a normal backup routine that is incremental Monday thru Saturday 
and full dump on Sunday.
Second, I recently installed a new primary disk drive and used xfsdump / 
xfsrestore (i.e. xfsdump -J - / | xfsrestore -J - /newroot) to duplicate my 
old drive. This was done on Sunday after the full backup ran.

When my incremental (level 1) ran this morning, I got the following error 
message for all of my partitions.

/sbin/xfsdump: using file dump (drive_simple) strategy
/sbin/xfsdump: version 2.2.21 (dump format 3.0) - Running single-threaded
/sbin/xfsdump: ERROR: cannot calculate incremental dump: online inventory not 
available
/sbin/xfsdump: Dump Status: ERROR

Am I missing something?  I would have assumed that xfsdump would have captured 
the dump inventory and brought it across to the new partition.

Thanks;

Joe
