I think we might be talking about: "Rerun Failed Levels = <yes|no>
If this directive is set to yes (default no), and Bacula detects that a previous job at a higher level (i.e. Full or Di erential) has failed, the current job level will be upgraded to the higher level. This is particularly useful for Laptops where they may often be unreachable, and if a prior Full save has failed, you wish the very next backup to be a Full save rather than whatever level it is started as." Obviously there's some ambiguity here. Because the default behavior seems to be "Yes", program-wide. Actually, that would be true if it red: "If Bacula detects that a previous job at a higher level has not occurred, or has occurred but is on a tape that was pruned/purged." What option were you guys thinking? There are 30 instances of the word "Upgrade" in the manual; but only 6 are in relation to Backup Levels. Perhaps we need to use the work "Promotion" or another synonym ? ~lava On Mon, 2006-02-13 at 22:26, Ryan Novosielski wrote: > If I remember correctly, it's right in the manual. > > Dan Langille wrote: > > >On 13 Feb 2006 at 19:41, Brian A.
