I just upgraded from 5.0.2 to 5.2.2 in the hope that the bug fixes solve a persistent problem that we've been having (for previous reports and more details, see [1]). Unfortunately, the problem still exists, occurs frequently, and causes backups to be very unreliable. In short, bacula will cal

FYI Not sure if anyone's seen or reported this, but I upgraded from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2 yesterday and during my backups last night, several jobs were promoted from Incremental to Full, even though their job configurations had not changed and they did have a valid Full backup from last week. I hav
