That should happen anyway, with one important exception: When there's no full backup left, Bacula will run one instead of what you scheduled. The Rerun failed levels setting can lead to multiple attempts to do backups of a higher level after a job failed, but you'd know this because you have to set this up explicitly, I think. > On one client many files changed, and bacula made a fullbackup instead of > a diff backup like it was scheduled. No. I mean, possibly many files changed, and possibly Bacula ran a full instead of a differental backup, but as far as I know there would not be a causal correlation between both. > I now deleted the full backup and > want bacula to do the diff backup even if it is nearly a full backup - > how do I do this? I don't think you can do that, because I guess that there *is* no longer a previous full backup known to Bacula. Perhaps the volumes it was on are automatically purged, or you manually purged or deleted the job when you actually tried to do something different. Or the last full backup failed, which would be the best thing for you - in this case (and make sure there is a good full backup left - you could delete the failed job from the catalogue. (When doing that, use the 'delete jobid=...' syntax, amke sure you have a catalog backup, make sure you understand what that command does, and don't blame me for anything :-) Try the catalog query for the last 20 full Backups for the client. That might show you the reason.
