Hello, 

The first time I run the job it runs full well, but I tried to run it
more times, it will run incremental automatically. Could anyone help me
understand this? I am learning bacula and please forgive me for this easy
question.

*run
A job name must be specified.
Automatically selected Job: job_backup1
Run Backup job
JobName:  job_backup1
Level:    Incremental
Client:   client_backup1
FileSet:  fileset_backup1
Pool:     Default (From Job resource)
Storage:  storage_backup1 (From Job resource)
When:     2009-05-22 11:49:34
Priority: 10
OK to run? (yes/mod/no):

the schedule section is listed below;

Schedule {
  Name = "test"   
  Run = Full at 11:50   
}            

attached is bacula-dir.conf
