'A newbie here... please be kind&gentle. I had differential backup scheduled to run. When it came time, it was upgraded to full, citing "Prior failed job found..." But in fact, i had a clean full backup (launched manually from the console) that finished just a couple of days before. And if i try to manually 'run' a differential now , the same thing occurs... it's upgraded to full with the same citation. Now i did 'cancel' a full backup that was scheduled the day before (wasn't needed since i just did one the day before that). And nearly a week before, a full bombed for very uncertain reason(s). This should summarize things: ------------ # bconsole * status client=myclient ... Terminated Jobs: JobId Level Files Bytes Status Finished Name ====================================================================== ... 1719 Full 869,657 590,578,994,676 Error 25-Feb-08 17:22 myJob 1756 Full 1,447,954 925,573,612,796 OK 26-Feb-08 14:07 myJob 1775 Full 0 0 Cancel 27-Feb-08 08:55 myJob ... ------------
'Seems to me that it should ignore the 'Cancel'd job on the 27th and just find the 'OK'd job on the 26th. It certainly doesn't need to concern itself with anything prior like the 'Error'd job of the 25th. What's going on? Do i need to somehow cleanse the catalog or ... ? Any other details i need to supply here for the clueful? It's Bacula 1-38.11-8 on Debian Etch. Or more accurately, a mix of Etch and Sarge (a few clients) with the same version of Bacula built for Sarge. I've inherited the system from a prior SA and am still trying to make sense of it all. Hadn't ever used bacula until now, tho i'd been exploring it. 'Feel like i want to upgrade to the contemporary version (2.2.8), but am also somewhat new to Debian and quite leary of hosing things up in trying to navigate upgrades with backports & such. Gotta do it eventually of course, but would like to get a better grip on things in the near-term. Ideas? Workarounds? Thank you much for any help you can offer.
