I really don't know what more to explain. I think that you are not reading the charts right or you did not understand the basic functionality of always incremental described in "How it works": http://doc.bareos.org/master/html/bareos-manual-main-reference.html#HowItWorks The documentation is clear how "Always Incremental Max Full Age" works: "When Always Incremental Max Full Age Dir Job is configured, in daily operation the Full Backup is left untouched while the incrementals are consolidated as usual" It only takes place when the last Full Backup(which > is the consolidated backup) is older than Always Incremental Max Full > Age. > > So in this case am I not correct that the incremental backups that are > high lighted in the attached would be missing and so would the data > they would have held?

There is no gap, the incremental and the Full are consolidated into the new full Everything that "disappears" from one day to the next is consolidated into what is created the next day. > Under "23.5.2 Always Incremental Max Full Age" I do see "in daily > operation the Full Backup is left untouched while the incrementals are > consolidated as usual".

Hello Douglas, Have you read the documentation?
