Not quite. If you ask for an Incr and there is no Full to increment from, Bacula will do a Full. But this is all database and not file system. As long as you put your backup volume files where Bacula expects them to be used for a restore, you can move them around to your liking. You also could

A long way. The last fulls were back in June. But this will depend on my users, there is a lot of churn in this data so they may not be concerned about restoring to a specific day in the range as long as we can get everything running appropriately again. ~J From: Udo Kaune Date: Thursday, A
