Don’ t forget to have performed One Full Job at least one time before doing any differential or incremental job
If Bacula don’t find any full backup it starts a full job instead of incremental or differential I got the problem before --------------------- De : Dr. Thorsten Brandau <thorsten.bran...@brace.de> Envoyé : vendredi 21 avril 2023 11:09 À : Justin Case <jus7inc...@gmail.com> Cc : bacula-users <bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net> Objet : Re: [Bacula-users] Bacula Differential and Incremental Backup not working Hi J/C Thank you. The configuration is: Schedule { Name = "WeeklyCycle" Run = Full 1st fri at 23:05 Run = Differential 2nd-5th fri at 23:05 # Run = Incremental sat-thu at 23:05 } So how should it be configured if that does not work?

It is more likely a matter of your settings. also the schedules influence whether a backup is done as a full or as an incremental, so I would look there, if this is configured correctly. Hope it helps, j/c On 21. Apr 2023, at 09:10, Dr. Thorsten Brandau <mailto:thorsten.bran...@brace.de> wrote: Hi I am running Bacula with a tape drive on an Autoloader. As the full Backup takes about 70 h (it is a larger filesystem to backup) I want to do differential and incremental backups. However, all Differential and Incremental are performed as full backups. I am running also an Rsync script with hardlinks, where it is no problem to have differential backups. It seems as the file checking of Bacula is not correct. Any idea how to finetune? Is it possible to understand WHY a file is considered new? Is there any way to control this? We have several backup strategies, with Rsync on different computers, but also symmetric synching with remote hosts. Would a blockwise differential backup be possible? Or at last ignoring things like ACL or so?
