Re: [Bacula-users] full and diff backups in 2 different jobs

Change any one of these and Bacula sees an entirely new unit requiring a Full backup before an incremental or a differential can be run. was just wondering if there was a way to have them in separate jobs, maybe save them on separate disks eventualy The jobs that i have set up fail in that respect as i mentioned and the diff job does not see the full job What you would/could do in this case is one of a couple different things: - Use the "FullBackupPool", "IncrementalBackupPool", and the "DifferentialBackupPool" settings in a Job so that each of these levels of Backups may be directed to different storage locations. OR - Set the "Level", "Storage", and "Pool" in each of your your schedule's "Run" l ines. Using the first method, you will need to set the "Storage" in each of these pools so that the correct disk location is always used regardless of the Pool selected.

I understand what you're trying to do, what I don't understand is why you're trying to do it. This is not the way the tool works, and it would greatly complicate matters. Let's take a step back. What are you trying to ACCOMPLISH by trying to make the Full and Differential separate Jobs, instead of different levels of the same Job?
