That syntax may not be exactly perfect (I don't have access to bacula
right now), but it's close if not correct.

In English, I want to do a full backup on the 1st and the 16th of
every
month. I also want to do a differential backup every Sunday and an
Incremental Monday-Saturday.
Here is my config:

Run = Level=Differential Pool="Diff-Pool Developer-PC" sun
at 0:15
Run = Level=Incremental Pool="Inc-Pool Developer-PC"

Since the Full backups are represented in numbers, the Diff and Inc
backups always have overlap with the Full. For example, today Sept
1, a
full backup was scheduled to run @ 00:05 and an incremental backup was
scheduled @ 0:25. If in fact there were no changes to the files in the
fileset, the incremental backup shouldn't have backed up anything. But
it runs anyway.
Is there a schedule that I can configure that will eliminate backup
redundancy? One option is to do a diff on, say, the 8th and 22st
of the
month and the incremental on every other day not covered. I would,
however, like to keep the differentials on Sunday.
Thanks in advance.

Mark,
No, it is not acceptable. We do a financial closing on the last business
day on or before the 15th of the month and the last business day of the
month. It is in our company's best interest to create a full backup and
keep it for a relatively longer period of time than the diffs and incs,
in case our company has an audit.
Thanks,
