An incremental can be promoted to a full in the middle of a cycle. This can happen because of a fileset change or a rerun of a failed level. If such an event happens on June 15, the volume Full-0001 will be overwritten. At this point, you can't do a restore of the FS from May 31, even though it's only been 15 days. - Morty ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
