Please always CC the list in replies. Sorry, I wasn't clear about the job definitions. You need 1 job definition for each set of files and client that you want to back up, e.g. named something like "Tracfire", "Tracweb" and "Tracsun". The job definition can use the Full Backup Pool, Incremental Backup Pool and Differential Backup Pool options to specify the pools for each level. See http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Automated_Disk_Backup.html for an example. __Martin > > On 2/19/07, Martin Simmons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > >>>>> On Mon, 19 Feb 2007 11:02:35 -0500, Naufal Zamir said: > > > > > > I am running bacula 1.38.5. > > > > > > I want to know if the incremental and differential backups can tale a > > fuill > > > backup from a different pool as their reference point. > > > > Yes. > > > > > > > Currently, I am using a full backup pool for the full backups, and since > > it > > > takes pretty long for all the system's full backup I do it on the > > weekend. > > > After the weekend when bacula is supposed to do an incremental or a > > > differential, it does not find any backup for that particular job and > > > reverts to full backup. what I want to do is that differential and > > > incremental should not revert to full backup and take the full backup > > from > > > other pool as their reference.
