Hello.

I use Bacula 5.0.2 on FreeBSD 8.0. I have a huge archive-type backup that has 
no full backup in its schedule:

Schedule {
        Name = Archive
        Run = Level=Differential 1st fri at 23:05
        Run = Level=Incremental 2nd-5th fri at 23:05
        Run = Level=Incremental sat-thu at 23:05
}

The job builds its fileset dynamically with "/usr/bin/find /path/to/backup 
-type f -mtime +90d -print" - it takes a while, but does its job. From 
time-to-time the job just gets upgraded to full.. like today:

13-Sep 23:05 velvet-dir JobId 9135: 13-Sep 23:05 velvet-dir JobId 9135: No 
prior or suitable Full backup found in catalog. Doing FULL backup.
13-Sep 23:05 velvet-dir JobId 9135: Start Backup JobId 9135, 
Job=userdata-archive.2010-09-13_23.05.01_05

Any ideas why this happens?

Is there a way to continue with incremental backups once such a full backup has 
been cancelled (eg. modifying Bacula DB manually)? It would really hurt to 
start from scratch with this archive.
