Full-0001 the next backup will create a Full-0002.
Hmmm... then I really don't see why Bacula would insist on doing a full backup next time... anyway, there might be failed full jobs in between. In the restore command, you will only be presented with jobs that ran ok. If the last full is considered broken, Bacula will upgrade a differential to a new full job. > Defined Clients: > 1: nudel-fd > 2: kartoffel-fd > 3: fiori-fd > 4: gurke-fd > 5: avocado-fd > Select the Client (1-5): 5 > Automatically selected FileSet: avocado-files > +-------+-------+----------+---------------+---------------------+------------+-----------+ > | JobId | Level | JobFiles | JobBytes | StartTime | VolumeName > | StartFile | > +-------+-------+----------+---------------+---------------------+------------+-----------+ > | 385 | F | 12,895 | 1,208,383,604 | 2007-02-04 01:05:11 | Full-0001 > | 0 | > | 469 | D | 991 | 47,422,871 | 2007-02-18 01:05:25 | Diff-0002 > | 0 | > | 475 | I | 763 | 31,293,685 | 2007-02-19 01:05:27 | Inc-0003 > | 0 | > | 487 | I | 159 | 32,039,843 | 2007-02-21 01:05:12 | Inc-0004 > | 0 | > | 493 | I | 178 | 29,398,212 | 2007-02-22 01:05:25 | Inc-0005 > | 0 | > | 499 | I | 157 | 30,879,188 | 2007-02-23 01:05:24 | Inc-0006 > | 0 | > | 505 | I | 153 | 29,462,405 | 2007-02-24 01:05:11 | Inc-0001 > | 0 | > +-------+-------+----------+---------------+---------------------+------------+-----------+ > You have selected the following JobIds: 385,469,475,487,493,499,505 > > Building directory tree for JobId 385 ... > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > Building directory tree for JobId 469 ... > Building directory tree for JobId 475 ... > Building directory tree for JobId 487 ... > Building directory tree for JobId 493 ... > Building directory tree for JobId 499 ... > Building directory tree for JobId 505 ... > 7 Jobs, 12,769 files inserted into the tree and marked for extraction. > > > >>Try the catalog query for the last 20 full Backups for the client.
