Hello, My backup schedule is such that I do a full on the first Sunday of the month, diffs every other sunday, and incrementals every other day. The first time I run a client Bacula upgrades the backup to a full as it should. This typically results in two full backups happening in the same month.

I found the old sources and RPM's here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bacula/ But, alas, nothing for CentOS. I downloaded bacula-1.36.3.tar.gz and built against that. The odd thing about the Spec file is that it wants, as one of its sources, Release_Notes-1.36.1-1.tar.gz. I just tar/gzip

ll just grab the source, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to go that far. Although, it sounds like it may be easier just to compile from source since you had spec file problems. Thanks, Eric On 4/12/06, Joshua Kugler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wednesday 12 April 2006 13:53, Eric
