Thank you Kern,
the PVF whitepaper is a great help, because every aspect is declared
exactly in this paper.
I didn't knew it before.
And thank you Bill also for your prompt answer.
I've only just seen the following PVF demonstration:
https://www.baculasystems.com/ml/pvf3.svg#PVF-title
and this looks unbelievable but is exactly what we want to use for our
future backups...
(...as the Progressive Virtual Full Backup is now available also for the
free bacula version V9.0.x).
Thanks for this great work of free SW
Alfred

Here are some questions of a bacula-newbie:
What directive decides when jobs are deleted when creating a Virtual
Full Backup:
a) The Retention time of the Incremental Backup Pool for incremental
jobs ?
b) The Job Retention time of the incremental jobs?
c) Or if this job is deleted because of "Delete Consolidated Jobs = yes"?
in case of (c): Would jobs be deleted immediately or only after the
Virtual Full is finished?
Does anyone have experience with Progressive VFull-Backups?
thx
