Well, basically the answer is you can't. You can't match up an
incremental backup from one client against a full from another.
When you wind up trying to do something like this, it's usually a pretty
good clue that at some point back when, you took something in the wrong
direction.

the root of your problem here is that at least one of your retention
times is set absurdly short.
Yes, it is... it's ONE DAY... :)
Not my necessity, I just said that it could be possible... Now I see that it's not...
OK, I know that I will have to review all my Retention Periods again to fix this problem... but is it a BUG in Bacula that it will prune every Job of a Client using the Retention Period from the Pool of the current Job running, even if all other Jobs have different retentions on their Pools? If it is a BUG, is anyone working on it?
Thanks!
