Thanks Sopro Thanks for the tip - I had changed the file set as I added another disc so to increase the size of the spool file and changed the Exclude entries. The "tests" were being done on the director. I have just tested a client and had no problem running an Incremental from bconsole.
I have used other backup software and I have to admit Bacula is almost too smart - maybe it should give the reason for changing from Incremental to Full or the possible reasons listed in the FAQ.
