Maybe. OTOH, I don't see the point in scheduling a disktocatalog verify for an old backup, since you will get more and more warnings over time about files that really have changed.
You might consider the InitCatalog/Catalog level verify instead (separately from the normal backup): https://www.bacula.org/9.4.x-manuals/en/main/Using_Bacula_Improve_Comput.html Also, consider monitoring the disk with self-tests using smartmontools. __Martin >>>>> On Thu, 7 Mar 2019 23:01:42 +0000, Chris Wilkinson said: > > Thanks Martin.
