You can try limiting your configuration to a single job, and tell it when to do
a full or incremental backup through the schedule, like below.
Any backup type specified in the Schedule overrides the “Level = Full” in the
job definition (which is still required to be there, but will be ignored if you
specify it in the schedule).
Which pool to use can be specified per backup type in the job def.
As with Level, the ‘Pool =’ line is required, but it only provides a default.
‘Full Backup Pool’ and ‘Incremental Backup Pool’ override it.
The storage can be specified in the pool resource, I moved it there because you
have two pools on different storage devices. This isn’t required in either the
job or the pool def, but if it isn’t specified in one it must be in the other.
Also remember that if you change anything in the include or exclude list in a
fileset resource between backups, the next backup will default to full again
(unless you tell it not to, by including a “Ignore Fileset Changes = yes” line
in it – which will itself only take effect after the next backup, so you may
still be saddled up with a full the first time if you’d rather have an
incremental).
Based upon your configuration, I come to something like this (but without
testing, absolutely no guarantee that it is working).
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Full sat at 20:10
Run = Incremental mon-fri at 20:10
}
Job {
Name = homedir-bioinfo03-weekly
Client = bioinfo03.ibi.unicamp.br-fd
JobDefs = DefaultJob
FileSet = homedir-bioinfo03
Level = Full
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Spool Data = Yes
Pool = Tape-Weekly
Full Backup Pool = Tape-Weekly
Incremental Backup Pool = File-Daily
Type = Backup
Messages = Standard
}
Pool {
Name = Tape-Weekly
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = tape-autochanger
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Purge Oldest Volume = Yes
Volume Retention = 28 days
LabelFormat="Week-"
}
Pool {
Name = File-Daily
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = File
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Purge Oldest Volume = Yes
Volume Retention = 6 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 80G
Maximum Volumes = 5
Label Format = "Vol-"
}

Subject: [Bacula-users] Weekly full backups on tape, Daily incrementals on File
Hi,
This is the first time I'm configuring bacula. I have a autochan ger with 8
slots and 1 drive. I tried to schedule a weekly full backup on tape and daily
differential backups on file. This is a small test. The whole full has 2GB in
data. The tape backup run and terminated with no errors. However, the daily
differential backups on File didn't recognize that I had alread done a full
backup on tape and asks me to do a Full backup on file. Could you please help
me?
The relevant parts of my dir.conf:
Job {
Name = homedir-bioinfo03-weekly
Client = bioinfo03.ibi.unicamp.br-fd
JobDefs = DefaultJob
FileSet = homedir-bioinfo03
Level = Full
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = tape-autochanger
Spool Data = Yes
Pool = Tape-Weekly
Type = Backup
Messages = Standard
}
Job {
Name = homedir-bioinfo03-daily
Client = bioinfo03.ibi.unicamp.br-fd
JobDefs = DefaultJob
FileSet = homedir-bioinfo03
Level = Differential
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = File
Spool Data = no
Pool = File-Daily
Type = Backup
Messages = Standard
}
FileSet {
Name = "homedir-bioinfo03"
Include {
Options {
signature = MD5
onefs = yes
}
File=/usr/local/data/lge/eduformi
}
}
Pool {
Name = Tape-Weekly
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Purge Oldest Volume = Yes
Volume Retention = 28 days
LabelFormat="Week-"
}
Pool {
Name = File-Daily
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes
AutoPrune = yes
Purge Oldest Volume = Yes
Volume Retention = 6 days
Maximum Volume Bytes = 80G
Maximum Volumes = 5
Label Format = "Vol-"
}
Best regards,
Gustavo
