Exactly. 27-Sep 17:29 lnfbacula-dir JobId 11634: Start Virtual Backup JobId 11634, Job=FVG-SV-Obito.2023-09-27_17.29.35_58 27-Sep 17:29 lnfbacula-dir JobId 11634: Warning: This Job is not an Accurate backup so is not equivalent to a Full backup. 27-Sep 17:29 lnfbacula-dir JobId 11634: Consolidating JobIds=11594,11633 27-Sep 17:29 lnfbacula-dir JobId 11634: Found 43953 files to consolidate into Virtual Full. 27-Sep 17:29 lnfbacula-dir JobId 11634: Using Device "FileStorage" to read. 27-Sep 17:29 lnfbacula-dir JobId 11634: Using Device "VirtualFileStorage" to write. 27-Sep 17:29 svpve3-sd JobId 11634: Ready to read from volume "Obito_Full_0001" on File device "FileStorage" (/rpool-backup/bacula). 27-Sep 17:29 svpve3-sd JobId 11634: Job FVG-SV-Obito.2023-09-27_17.29.35_58 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes. Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for: Storage: "VirtualFileStorage" (/rpool-backup/bacula) Pool: FVG-SV-ObitoFilePoolFull Media type: File job need to read from 'Obito_Full_0001', and clearly cannot write on them. So effectivaly there's no way to have a single full backup (apart, again, doing some scripting around). This make sense, but still i really don't understand how to manage jobs and vlumes... The only route seems Progessive Virtual Full, indeed: https://www.bacula.org/whitepapers/PVF.pdf because old job get deleted automaticaly after consolidation, probably get deleted also the full one, right? So, using PVF i can achive the 'one full' goal, clearly at the cost of a temporary full for the consolidation (obviously). Right?!
