If I did that, I would risk losing data because I wouldn't be doing any real
backup on the 1st Sunday.

Thanks for the suggestion.
I am a bit dubious as to whether it can really work like that.
If I came to do a restore (or the virtualfull), bacula would have to know to
group the source data, perhaps by client/fileset, rather than by job name.
Perhaps I just need to try it.
A second question:
What can I do in the case where there is a power cut on the first sunday? I
don't think that bacula is going to notice that a virtualfull has been missed.
