Hi Peter, Tks for your advice. > > 3) The backup image can be read without restore > > You mean like browsing? Yeah, it is possible.
Yes. Can its files be copied similar to a tarball.

Sure, bacula supports that. Yes, but I expect the new compressed image will not contain the files and subdir which have been deleted on the working Data file. The compressing time will be reduced otherwise if without much gain on time I prefer to create a new compressed image instead. > > I'm now running tar+bzip2 doing the job but can't do incremental > > backup.

After that, it could be piece of cake. Sorry for not having explained clear on my first posting. Incremental backup is possible but files and subdir already deteted on the working Data directory will be retained in the new compressed tarball. Besides there is not much gain on time.
