Hello,

I'm running Linux Debian with Bacula 1.36.3 and sqlite.

I have two clients (canis and bebif) to backup, three pools: one for full backup (for both client), and two for incremental backups (one for each client). (In fact I have more clients, but those are not problematic because I do only a full backup of them once a week)
I do:
- FULL backup of CANIS every monday at 3:00 AM
- FULL backup of BEBIF every tuesday at 3:00 AM
- INCREMENTAL backup of BEBIF and CANIS every day at 20:00 PM

Here is the Pools definition:

########
# P O O L  #
########

# FULL

Pool { Name = tape-pool-full
       PoolType = Backup
       LabelFormat = "Full-"
       Recycle = yes
       RecycleOldestVolume = yes
       MaximumVolumes = 18
       MaximumVolumeJobs = 0
       VolumeUseDuration = 0
       VolumeRetention = 30 days
       CatalogFiles = yes
       AutoPrune = yes
       AcceptAnyVolume = no
}

# INCREMENTAL

Pool { Name = bebif-pool-incremental
       PoolType = Backup
       LabelFormat = "Bebif-Incremental-"
       Recycle = yes
       RecycleOldestVolume = yes
       MaximumVolumes = 15
       MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
       VolumeUseDuration = 0
       VolumeRetention = 10 days
       CatalogFiles = yes
       AutoPrune = yes
       AcceptAnyVolume = no
}

Pool { Name = canis-pool-incremental
       PoolType = Backup
       LabelFormat = "Canis-Incremental-"
       Recycle = yes
       RecycleOldestVolume = yes
       MaximumVolumes = 15
       MaximumVolumeJobs = 1
       VolumeUseDuration = 0
       VolumeRetention = 10 days
       CatalogFiles = yes
       AutoPrune = yes
       AcceptAnyVolume = no
}

Everything works fine, except that sometimes an incremental backup is upgraded to a full backup without any reasons.

Here is the list jobs output (I hope it will be readable) :

As you can see, we are today 2006-01-09. A full backup on tape of client canis started at 3:00:02 and finished successfully (job id 65) at 08:51.

Why on 2006-01-09 at 20:00 PM the incremental backup is upgraded to a full backup (job id 66) ? As you can see, job id 62 has also been upgraded to a full backup without any reasons because job id 53 was a full backup three days ago ... I'm a bit confused ...

Any ideas ?

In advance thanks for support,
Julien
