Yes, you have to read about bacula utility commands: bextract, bls, bscan,
bcopy.

Yes, first of all you have set up different pools for full and incremental
backups. For full backup pool you have to set up "Use Volume Once =  yes"
parameter. Then volume will be marked as used instead of full/append. Next
full backup will use next available volume.
