And how do I set my schedule then? full backup once a week, incrementals the other 6 days? I assume Bacula won't purge a volume every 7 days if there is only one full backup a month? I won't be able to store two full backups of each client, so the old full backup would have to be purged right after the new one is taken. > For this to work, you need a reasonable estimate of the actual amount > of data that will need to be stored; after some cycles of prging / reusing, > you can fine-tune your settings.
