This is confusing to me. In the example config files it appears that the single client is writing to the same `volume' each time. In the instant case ..on /tmp/Fname. You write as if that Fname changes for each backup, or do you mean inside Fname some designated space is used for each incremental backup? I could well be missing where the volume name changes, but the few test backups I've run only wanted a LABEL once. After I'd given the enitial LABEL any backups setup were written to it. So, I guess I'm confused about VOLUME and LABEL, or maybe just missing where these are changed for each backup. > So Bacula allows you not only to restore the last > version of a file but you can get the file from every version when you > backed it up.
