You are correct, you cannot have an incremental without having already done a
full. You will see in the logs that it says something like "no previous full
found, upgrading to full".
Even if you could make a backup application take an "incremental" backup
without having done a previous full, it would have to backup every file anyway,
which would make it a full in everything but name. And you probably wouldn't
want a complete backup of everything to sit in your incremental volume pool -
it would be far bigger than your regular incremental jobs and screw up any
provisioning calculations you had made. Bacula is being helpful by actually
upgrading the job to a full.

Well guys....
Score zero, again!
Don't work as I expect!
Perhaps I was misunderstanding the configurations and how bacula works... Or
any other backup tool..
What I want to do is make an Incremental Backup today, has a Full backup either
or not...
So, now I think: make an incremenal backup from WHERE and from WHAT?
First, I need to do a Full backup, in order to do the differential or
incremental backup...
So, what I need to do FIRST is a Full Backup and based on this Full backup
running an Incremental backup, right???
I can't running an Incremental Backup without a Full Backup that never took
place!
Correct me, if I wrong!
Thanks

You can do it two ways:
(Note the order of the arguments here is different from what you suggested -
again check the docs for more info about what options you can specify here)
Schedule {
Name = Backup-Samba
Run = Level=Full Pool=Samba-Full on 2nd fri at 18:30
}
Or you can do as I did in the example and use the Job options:
Job {
Pool = Samba-Full # Redundant given the options below, but still required
Full Backup Pool = Samba-Full
Incremental Backup Pool = Samba-Incremental
}
I prefer the latter form, since all the information about where the data will
be written to is stored with the Job.

Just one more thing
I have differents Volumes, one for Full and other for Incremental...
On the Schedule I can define Full and Incremental like that?
Schedule {
Name = Backup-Samba
Run = Level=Full on 2nd fri at 18:30 Pool=Samba-Full # Monthly full
Run = Level=Incremental at 02:30 Pool=Samba-Incremental# Daily incremental
}
Thanks

Instead of specifying the pools in the schedule, I use the Full Backup Pool and
Incremental Backup Pool options as below.
Pool {
Name = Samba-Full
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Retention = 30 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
LabelFormat = FullMensal
}
Pool {
Name = Samba-Incremental
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Retention = 365 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
LabelFormat = Incremental
}
Job {
Name = Backup-Samba
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = server-fd
FileSet = DADOS
Schedule = Backup-Samba
Storage = File
Pool = Samba-Full # Redundant given the options below, but still required
Full Backup Pool = Samba-Full
Incremental Backup Pool = Samba-Incremental
Messages = Standard
}
Schedule {
Name = Backup-Samba
Run = Level=Full on 2nd fri at 18:30 # Monthly full
Run = Level=Incremental at 02:30 # Daily incremental
}

Just to complemente I do this:
It will run a Full backup today, at 18hs30 and later, around 02hs30 will run a
Incremental backup...
This the configuration:
Pool {
Name = Samba-Full
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Retention = 30 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
LabelFormat = FullMensal
}
Pool {
Name = Samba-Incremental
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Volume Retention = 365 days
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
LabelFormat = Incremental
}
Job {
Name = Backup-Samba-Completo
Type = Backup
Level = Full
Client = server-fd
FileSet = DADOS
Schedule = Samba-Full
Storage = File
Pool = Samba-Full
Messages = Standard
}
Job {
Name = Backup-Samba-Incremental
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = server-fd
FileSet = DADOS
Schedule = Samba-Inc
Storage = File
Pool = Samba-Incremental
Messages = Standard
}
Schedule {
Name = Samba-Full
Run = Level=Full Pool=Samba-Full on 14 fri at 18:30
}
Schedule {
Name = Samba-Inc
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=Samba-Incremental at 02:30
}
I don't know if work as expected but we will see...
Thanks a lot

That may not work the way you want with the Incremental. Give me a few
minutes. Its time for breakfast..
