    Yes, I think so, for daily full backups.


I'm just curious how did you check that Dimitri is making a daily full backups?

    I have 5 years retentions for my full backups, but they are full
    monthly backups. For daily and weekly backups, we use incremental
    and differential types.


Well. Let's imagine I backup a single file every day. Every day this file is changing its contents, so what backup level I should use for it (I assume I do not use bacula delta plugin)? You could ask what single file, I can respond a virtual machine disk image. :)


That is one reason I switched to installing Bacula client on the VM, rather than backing up the entire VM image on a daily basis. Another reason is that restoring a file to the VM is much quicker and easier with the Bacula client installed on the VM. For my purposes, VM image backups are only useful for archival / off-site backups. Even with the delta plugin, restoring a single file to the VM is still painful.
