Hello All,

I'm running bacula-2.0.3 on RHEL4 backing up to file.  Currently, for 
testing purposes, I have file retention, job retention and volume 
retention set to 1 hour.  I have limited myself to 20 volumes in my 
pool, all at 1 Gb each.

The first job I run (reason) fills 13 volumes, and it is a full backup. 
  When I run the next job (country), it is also a full backup but I run 
out of volumes.  Bacula then does its pruning and purging and frees up 
necessary volumes.  This obviously overwrites the volumes that the first 
job (reason) used for its backup.

All this I expected.

However, when I run the first job again (reason), it performs an 
incremental backup, but as of now there are no valid full backups for 
reason.

Shouldn't bacula know this and upgrade it to full?


Here are the relevant parts in bacula-dir.conf:

...
# Client (File Services) to backup
Client {
   Name = reason-fd
   Address = reason.mitll.ad.local
   FDPort = 9102
   Catalog = MyCatalog
   Password = "*****"          # password for FileDaemon
   File Retention = 1 hours
   Job Retention = 1 hours
   AutoPrune = yes             # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Client {
   Name = country-fd
   Address = country
   FDPort = 9102
   Catalog = MyCatalog
   Password = "******"         # password for FileDaemon
   File Retention = 1 hours
   Job Retention = 1 hours
   AutoPrune = yes             #Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
...
# Default pool definition
Pool {
   Name = Default
   Pool Type = Backup
   Recycle = yes
   AutoPrune = yes
   Volume Retention = 1 hours
   Maximum Volumes = 20
   Maximum Volume Bytes = 1073741824  # 1Gb
   Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
   LabelFormat = "vol"
}

Thanks,

Joe
