[Bacula-users] differential backups not reqiered?

2006-11-03 Thread Jaap Stolk
I have been using Bacula on a Debian box (in a windows xp network) for a while now, and it's working great, except that the backup volume (stored on the hard disk) is getting to big. I have since learned that all the purging options in bacula only remove files and jobs from the bacula database, an

Hi Alan, a job definition allows one Storage directive only, of course. All directives are keywords, thus they must be unique. But, within a Schedule definition, you may change the storage for the scheduled job. Example: Schedule { Name = "Foo" Run = Full Storage="Tape" Pool="

I guess it comes down to the definition of "previous versions". If you exclude previous development versions (ie 1.39.x) then it is backwards compatible since the problem and the fix only affect encrypted data which, as far as I know, wasn't available in 1.38.x. -Original Message- From:
