Hello Alan et al., I'm not really interested in bit-by-bit identical backups, I just want one full backup per month / host to go onto the tape library to "take away" and store the media in a different location, so a couple of different files within the tape backup would be no biggie. One final question, though: Right now, bacula does a full backup once a week and incremental backups during the rest of the week. However I only want the full backup to end up on tape. Is there a way to restrict cloned backups to level "full" only, ignoring the incremental level backups? As I understand it from the documentation, the "level" keyword in the job's "run" statement would force a certain backup level for the cloned job if I'm not mistaken?
