Speaking as a bacula newbie who read the documentation, It did not seem obvious to me. Having been unfamiliar with bacula I was thinking of running Full backup jobs and Incremental/Differential backup jobs, not running a single job that was Full/Differential/Incremental based upon some other requirements. Something a bit more clear was needed for me to get it.
I really don't care whether you apply the patch or not. I just wanted to be helpful, and offer my newbie perspective while I still have it. ;0) -----Original Message----- From: Phil Stracchino [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 30, 2005 1:02 PM To: Bennett, Silas (GE Infrastructure) Cc: Kern Sibbald; bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net; Arno Lehmann Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Differentials Jobs referencing obsolete Full Job >Bennett, Silas (GE Infrastructure) wrote: >> Here is a diff against >> http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Configuring_Director.html >> >> 565c565,569 >> < performed as requested. >> --- >> >>>performed as requested. >>><STRONG>Note: Since the director looks for a previous >>>full backup with the same job name of your incrimental, you cannot do >>>incrementals against full backups with a different job name.
