Hi Bryn 

Thank you for your reply , i was doing Diff Backups before , i switched back 
incremental to save some disk space, what actually i was thinking is something 
like find and restore a directory from multiple jobs at once , in this case a 
full job and all others incremental to some date.

Hello Folks 

I already have been using Bacula for years, in the case of incremental backups 
maybe i`m doing do it wrong but when i need for example restore a folder from 
someday i restore it from the last full job before that date i need and all 
subsequents incrementals backup until the day , is there a better way to do 
this ? 




That's what an Incremental is; a backup set containing whatever was not in the 
last Incremental. 

A Differential on the other hand contains everything since the last Full. A 
typical strategy would be to run a weekly Differential and then daily 
Incrementals; that way you need the Full, the Differential and then just the 
Incrementals since the last Differential.
