Could you please provide a link to the most up to date page/doc about VirtualFull (including setup instructions).
RE the "Since" type of backup -- if not implemented it should be hidden, no? :) A related question: We have a large mail server to backup and full backup is too long hence there is a need for "reverse-incremental" backup: full backup runs only once and next backups are merged into the full backup (sounds like Virtual so far) but we would like to remove old increments (lets say retention is 60 days) without removing the original full. How can this be done with Bacula? The problem with VirtualFull is that it cannot be used as a base for next incremental (unless I am wrong?)
