[Bacula-users] Problem with schedule/pool
I'm resending this mail as it seems it didn't get accepted by mailman.
Hello people, please excuse my bad english.
I'm having some issues with my schedules/pool configuration, my idea is
to run a full backup every 3 days, doing incremental in the middle.
At some point, I keep no full backup, as it seems like the volume that
contains the full backup is being recycled to do the Incremental, so I
can't restore certain files, which is very serious.
What am I missing?

For starters, I would set all your retention values to be the same value
(30 days). Issue a reload command within bconsole. Then run update
(pool, and volumes from pool) to update the Pool and Volumes from that
new Pool resource value.
Then run with that for a while and see how things go.
My theory as to the problem: your Full Job is being dropped from the
Catalog. Bacula goes to run an incremental, can't find a Full, so it
promotes that Job to a Full.
