I thought that may be the case. Bacula is a great system but every solution I try with a disk-based backup fails for one reason or another :( I'm sure it's perfect for tapes but I'm struggling to make it work successfully with disks.
All I have is about 6 backup locations and I need to do a full monthly, diff weekly and inc daily system. I have three USB drives - a 1TB unit for fulls, a .5TB unit for diffs and a 250MB unit for incrementals. It can't be this difficult!
