Seems like a reasonable request. Your Pool directives will need to be planned, but it seems like something bacula can do. Myslef and many others do weekly full backups and daily incrementals in between without problems. Increasing frequency should not be that big of deal, although I have not personally attempted it. I am not sure how people deal with tracking of deleted files between backups, but everything else from you request seems doable. ------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
