Hello world, our Problem at the moment is this: We have configured monthly full, weekly differential and daily incremental backups. Unfortunately, the differential and incremental backups seem to lose all information about the higher level jobs.
Symptoms: The differential level backup, one week after the full backup, backs up the entire client. Every time a differential backup runs, the day after, the incremental backup does save the whole client, too. For example, this is the log of our differential backup on Saturday: 12-Jun 10:00 maelstrom-dir JobId 203: Start Backup JobId 203, Job=meltdown2-std-job.2010-06-12_10.00.00_53 12-Jun 10:00 maelstrom-dir JobId 203: Using Device "diffp-filedev-1" 12-Jun 12:21 maelstrom-sd JobId 203: User defined maximum volume capacity 268,435,456,000 exceeded on device "diffp-filedev-1" (/filepools/differential). 12-Jun 12:21 maelstrom-sd JobId 203: End of medium on Volume "DIFFP-0016" Bytes=268,435,440,558 Blocks=4,161,025 at 12-Jun-2010 12:21. 12-Jun 12:21 maelstrom-dir JobId 203: There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "DIFFP-0017".
