+
+ This patch can be applied to version 3.0.1 and ensures that
+ if maxdiffinterval is set, it will be done even if no prior
+ Diff job ran. This should fix bug #1311.
+
+ Apply it to version 3.0.1 with:
+
+ cd <bacula-source>
+ patch -p0 <3.0.1-maxdiff.patch
+ ./configure <your-options>
+ make
+ ...
+ make install
