Hello,
I used Bacula at work with backup on tapes, and it works perfectly.
Now I'd like to install it at home for personal backups (on disk).
I do a weekly full backup each sunday 6am and a daily incremental backup
each day at 9pm.
It's for personal use so I only want a full backup volume and 7
incremental volumes (one volume per day).
It runs now for one week but today an incremental backup has been
promoted to a full backup :
31-Oct 23:59 mordor-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found.
31-Oct 23:59 mordor-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found. Doing
FULL backup.

Job=mordor-incremental.2005-11-01_00.00.00

31-Oct 23:59 mordor-sd: Recycled volume "DailyIncremental-0002" on
device "/var/backups/bacula", all previous data lost.

As you can see the last FULL backup has been made on volume
WeeklyFull-0001 the 2005-10-30 (this is correct).
The next day the incremental backup has been made on volume
DailyIncremental-0001 which is correct too.
But today the incremental backup has been promoted to a full backup on
DailyIncremental-0002 and I don't understand why because a full backup
has been made two days ago ... ?
Thanks
