Hello all, I use Bacula for some times now and I experiment now the base job backup. I have to solve a problem and I need help: I have to backup a laptop.
This laptop is most of the time connected by wifi. As it contains quite large data, I have decided to do a full the 1st of each month and an incremental the other days. To let the full run quickly, I decided that the laptop will be connected by its LAN 1Gb connection the 1st and by wifi the rest of the month. So I have 2 client instances configured: "client-lan" and "client-wlan", one for each type of backup, each with its own IP address. But when I start an incremental for "client-wlan", Bacula tells me it does not find a valid full, so it starts a full through the wifi connection. Too long !! I have decided to do a base job the 1st of the month by LAN for instance "client-lan" and then each incremental for "client-wlan" would be based on this base job. It does not work neither as it still starts a full backup in wifi mode instead of incremental. I have read that a base job is like a full and let full backup base on it: so I change my incremental backup by a full with hope it would saved only some datas, for instance "client-wlan". But after a while running, I have the impression Bacula does a new total full without taking into consideration the base job backup. So my questions are simple: does base job can be used with incremental backups to realise what I would like and how to do that ? Thanks in advance for your help !
