Hi all, I've read the fine manual and perused the mailing list and I'm stuck. I'm using disk backups at the moment and wish to have all the jobs that run at night be appended to 1 file/volume and have bacula use a next file the next night. I've set the Volume Use Duration = 1 day, but instead it seems it is only using one Volume per job, while I do not have the Maximum Volume Jobs set.
Also, I have some general questions to which I wasn't able to find answers in documentation or mailing lists: 1. in 'list media' in the column VolStatus is listed 'Error'. I haven't been able to find in the bacula manual what this means either? (only how to change it to something else?). I have found why it is marking them as 'error', although this does not make sense to me either? Reported in the messages is: 23-Nov 16:25 ann-adm01-dir: Start Backup JobId 545, Job=asn-pre-mdb01-system.2005-11-23_16.20.48 23-Nov 16:25 ann-adm01-sd: asn-pre-mdb01-system.2005-11-23_16.20.48 Warning: Volume "Inc-0041" not on device "FileStorage" (/data/bacula). 23-Nov 16:25 ann-adm01-sd: Marking Volume "Inc-0041" in Error in Catalog. 23-Nov 16:25 ann-adm01-dir: Created new Volume "Inc-0042" in catalog. 23-Nov 16:25 ann-adm01-sd: Labeled new Volume "Inc-0042" on device "FileStorage" (/data/bacula). 23-Nov 16:25 ann-adm01-sd: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "Inc-0042" on device "FileStorage" (/data/bacula) It says it is not on device FileStorage, but the previous 2 jobs have just written to this voluem "Inc-0041" without problems, and the volume Inc-0041 was just created before those two jobs. And after job 545 and the next have written to Inc-0042 the same sequence is repeated. Anyone know what is going on? (I can paste more messages output if necessary). 2. what exactly is the difference between an incremental and an differential backup? Thanks in advance.
