Aaaaaaahhhh... sorry, a total misunderstanding, here!
I simply mean that, if a need a 'second level backup' it is easy to put a
rsnapshot backup on tape, it suffices to put 'alpha.0' dir...

Ok. I'm doing some test so i can ignor for now deadlock. I've simply defined
a scheduling, eg:
Schedule {
Name = WeeklyLinuxProgressive
Run = VirtualFull fri at 20:00
Run = Incremental mon-sun at 23:00
}

Currently i've simply 3 volumes, File Retention = 21 days and Volume Use
Duration = 1 week

Sorry, but i've not found option '2' in bacula documentation; can you point
me to the options to setup an upper bound on job size?
Thanks.
