I'm apparently still confused. I changed BackupsToKeep to 10 for the eltanin-vfull job. Then I ran the incremental job repeatedly until there were 11 since the last full backup. Finally, I ran my Virtual Full job. But I still got "no previous jobs found".
Here's the list of jobs from the last actual full backup on: | 22250 | eltanin | 2019-04-09 13:41:39 | B | F | 108510 | 84671554923 | T | | 22257 | eltanin | 2019-04-09 17:10:12 | B | I | 1104 | 212716762 | T | | 22313 | eltanin | 2019-04-10 17:10:11 | B | I | 1239 | 174101825 | T | | 22363 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 16:42:45 | B | I | 402 | 113157934 | T | | 22365 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 16:47:57 | B | I | 39 | 28087251 | T | | 22371 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 17:10:10 | B | I | 99 | 65072712 | T | | 22379 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 17:23:55 | B | I | 94 | 48053911 | T | | 22380 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 17:29:45 | B | I | 56 | 51802261 | T | | 22381 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 17:33:30 | B | I | 35 | 34636048 | T | | 22382 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 17:35:41 | B | I | 45 | 39417049 | T | | 22383 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 17:40:31 | B | I | 61 | 43142265 | T | | 22384 | eltanin | 2019-04-11 17:45:46 | B | I | 62 | 42251517 | T | +-------+---------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+-------------+-----------+ I don't understand why these jobs don't get consolidated. Is there something I need to set to tell Bacula that a particular Virtual Full job corresponds to a particular Incremental job?
