Compression is handled by the FD, so you will find all the related
compression code there. However, you will also need to patch the DIR

Differentials are used to prevent having to piece together tons of

I think that LZMA would definitely be a nice addition to bacula (which
is used by the 7z format) to compress the data.

Bacula has no way to determine whether or not a blob of data is

I can't say for sure, but you could have a JobDef assigned to the

This is a limitation of bacula, in order to free up space you must
prune your volumes. The volume retention setting sets how long the
volumes will live in the database, but it is up to you to delete them.
If you need more space you can just prune them manually from the
console.

Yeah.
It might be started twice because the DIR clock jumps.

Yeah thats what I'm thinking.
