Re: [Bacula-users] Question about differential backup
Hi Bill!! How are you :) :) :) Yes well.. the question was for knowing if I could recycle volumes of differential001 and 002 and I still could go to differential003 situation without 001 and 002. That was basically more than anything a question for knowing if I could recycle a differential between the last full and the lastest differential, and to know if after that I could still restore to the situation of the lastest differential I see I could :) :) Thank you so much!!

Re: [Bacula-users] Question about differential backup
Good morning!! Thank you so much!! Well in our case... was a retention related question I would like to know if I could recycle the differential001 and 002 in order to restore to differential003 situation. Basically to know if I could recycle those intermediate differentials... I see by your answer that we could then :) Thank you so much for the clarification. Cheers!

You would type 'restore' and choose option 5. Bacula will build the restore from the Full jobid, and the latest Differential jobid, and any Incremental jobids that ran after the last Differential.

Thanks a lot mates! Hi Differential backup covers differences since the latest full job. So, in your example you would need the appropriate Full job and the "Differential 003" job. The idea behind differential jobs is to speed up the restore by avoiding the need of a number of incremental jobs which could reside on different volumes. If you are using only volumes of a file type (stored on a disk storage) and your volumes are always available, then you probably wouldn't benefit from differential backups as disk storage is quite fast and Bacula can open volumes as needed.
