has not occurred, or has occurred but is on a tape that was pruned/purged. What option were you guys thinking? Something that allowed a incremental/differential to run after the FileSet had been updated, instead of a full. Right, You can't mix match Full and Incremental jobs on the same tape if you plan to do off-site storage, *WITHOUT* an internal data structure identifying copies, inside the database. I can't remember if Legato has that feature or not; my memory is pretty well scared from the days of Solaris, but that seems correct. ~lava smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

If I remember correctly, it's right in the manual. Dan Langille wrote: On 13 Feb 2006 at 19:41, Brian A.

I think we might be talking about: Rerun Failed Levels = yes|no If this directive is set to yes (default no), and Bacula detects that a previous job at a higher level (i.e. Full or Di erential) has failed, the current job level will be upgraded to the higher level. This is particularly useful for Laptops where they may often be unreachable, and if a prior Full save has failed, you wish the very next backup to be a Full save rather than whatever level it is started as. Obviously there's some ambiguity here. Because the default behavior seems to be Yes, program-wide. Actually, that would be true if it red: If Bacula detects that a previous job at a higher level has not occurred, or has occurred but is on a tape that was pruned/purged. What option were you guys thinking? There are 30 instances of the word Upgrade in the manual; but only 6 are in relation to Backup Levels. Perhaps we need to use the work Promotion or another synonym ? ~lava On Mon, 2006-02-13 at 22:26, Ryan Novosielski wrote: If I remember correctly, it's right in the manual.
