I'm in a situation where a 300 MHz server has to backup 100 GB of data. Full backup would take ~3 days, but as users are very disturbed by bacula-fd's 80% CPU usage, backup should be done outside of work hours. Before Bacula, backups were done with rsync and it would be quite perfect if it was possible to just sync parts of data into Bacula volume every night, and when there would finally be a full backup, other backup levels would follow. As such synchronizing isn't implemented in Bacula, pausing a job would do the trick also. So has this feature been implemented? I don't see any information about it anywhere..
