Hi all,

We are using Bacula  9.4.4.

At the moment the backup scheme is : weekly incremental and  Virtual Full on 
the weekend.

As I understand it, the Virtual Full backup first reads the latest Full backup 
and the incremental backup sets to consolidate them by writing  into a new set 
of volumes.

This process of Virtual Full backup is too lengthy in our case as we have lot 
of archive data in the previous full backup which hardly changes over time. New 
data is added every day of week. But the weekend's Virtual Full backup still 
has to read all the archive data and add week's daily incremental data.

Is there a way in Bacula where the previous full data volumes are just "carried 
forward" to the Virtual Full backup, instead of reading them and consolidating 
them with the incremental volumes.

If there is any other feature in Bacula for handling this type of archive, 
please let me know.

Thanks,
Yateen
