Hi, all.
I may be misunderstanding (or misconfiguring) something again. I'm
hoping someone can explain it to me.
I'm trying to set up a progressive virtual full scheme. But in several
instances, the incrementals that would be consolidated by the VF, are
empty, meaning that the VF is failing with errors like this:
> 30-Sep 08:25 backup-dir JobId 221077: Start Virtual Backup JobId
> 221077, Job=zhome_sw.2019-09-30_08.25.06_37
> 30-Sep 08:25 backup-dir JobId 221077: Consolidating
> JobIds=181371,181679,182032,182350,182668,182718,183093,183408,183724,184039,184354,184669,184984,185615
> 30-Sep 08:25 backup-dir JobId 221077: No files found to read. No
> bootstrap file written.
> 30-Sep 08:25 backup-dir JobId 221077: Found 0 files to consolidate
> into Virtual Full.
> 30-Sep 08:25 backup-dir JobId 221077: Fatal error: Could not get or

Now this is correct. While there are files in the initial full, there
are indeed zero files in those subsequent incrementals. But why is that
a fatal condition?
The result of this being a fatal error, is that my existing full remains
at its original date/time Therefore, it will eventually reach the
retention period age, and be pruned. Then I have to start over with a
complete, non-Virtual Full again, and lose a few months of backup
history that would otherwise be usable.
If there's a way of changing this behavior via config file, that would
be great (current config example attached).
I do also have a workaround in mind. I'm just trying to understand if
I've done something wrong, and if not, what the reasoning was about this
being a fatal error. It was certainly unexpected.
This is running on Bacula 9.4.3.
Thanks,
Lloyd
