Hi, It will be great (at least for me :-) ) when Bacula looks for previous Full backup on a brand new client to also check if a Full backup is currently running.
We do Incr. backups M-F at night and they use tapes from IncrTapes pool. Full backups use tapes from the FullTapes pool. When I add a new client sometimes I run the Full backup manually to avoid Bacula changing tapes in the middle of the night. The problem is that when my manually ran Full backup takes longer then I expected and overlaps with the regularly scheduled Incr backups. Then Bacula runs the Incr. backup for my new system and because it can't find a previous Full backup it changes it from Incr to Full. But, the Full backup is already running. It just hasn't finished yet. So, at the end, I end up with two Full backups for the same system. What I'd expect from Bacula is to see that there is a Full backup running for that client and not change the Incr to Full. Not a deal breaker at all. I just thought that if this make sense to you and if it is easy to implement you may be interested. Thanks for the great product. -- Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Beautiful is writing same markup.
