Problem is I have quite a few drives that come and go in different combinations. I still wish I could control that particular behavior.

Re: [Bacula-users] Ignore fileset changes
What I mean is that if I have a drive removed, run the job then attach the drive and run the job again, Bacula will do a full backup of the drive even if it previously had done an incremental backup on the same drive. Ideally I want it to just continue the incremental backup. At the moment I need to remember to remove the drive from the fileset then add it again when it's online. Sometimes I forget and.. well... I really wish I could control this behavior. It says in the manual this is deliberately so, in order to ensure the backup is correct, but I find it would be very helpful if I could switch this on or off. Thomas - the dynamic fileset looks interesting. I will try it. Thank you.

Re: [Bacula-users] Ignore fileset changes
Thank you Uwe. I misunderstood the concept. Is there a way to have Bacula just continue incremental backup of a drive even if it was offline for one run?

[Bacula-users] Ignore fileset changes
Hi All, 'Ignore Fileset Changes = yes' doesn't seem to have the effect I was hoping for... If a drive is missing on one run, the next time Bacula sees the drive it will proceed to backup the entire thing again. I'm sure there's an obvious way to avoid this but I can't seem to find it...

[Bacula-users] virtual baculas
Hi All, I'm a newbie here and I'd just like to get someone's thoughts on this - I want to run several rotating backups sets of the same files; one set of tapes at home and one set at work and then rotate and keep incrementing on both. What I'm doing (and it's working ok) is I use several virtual machines for Bacula dir (Debian on a Mac Pro in Parallels). This way I can have multiple sets of tapes backing up the same set of files. I suspect there is a more elegant way to accomplish this from a single Bacula dir...?

Dear all, Sorry if this question is painfully noobish but I'm trying to figure out how to keep two rotating tape sets of complete backups where I can keep one set off site. Will separate catalogs do it? I don't want to prune or in any other way start over. Just keep two sets of tapes that forever keep growing (incremental) and I should be able to restore from either one. ??
