To make differential/incremental work, you must use the level option when running the job with the same name as the full job. I.e. one job with a schedule that contains more than one run option. 2) What are the retention times for the job? If they are too short, then Bacula might prune the job records for the full run before it runs the differential/incremental. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
