Not quite. If you ask for an Incr and there is no Full to increment from, Bacula will do a Full. But this is all database and not file system. As long as you put your backup volume files where Bacula expects them to be used for a restore, you can move them around to your liking. You also could

I just inherited this Bacula setup at a new position. The backups are running to disk and to tape. The disk is currently full. I’m looking at the list of jobs that have run and see that there are fulls that completed, incrementals that have completed, and then differentials. Just to make
