Hello all, I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm having an issue with a
backup schedule on a new install of bacula. I have a scheduled defined as:

Schedule {
  Name = "Monthly"
  Run = Full 1st fri at 23:05
  Run = Incremental 2nd-5th fri at 23:05
  Run = Incremental sat-thu at 23:05
}

and a host which uses that schedule:

JobDefs {
  Name = "nutbuster-job"
  Type = Backup
  Level = Incremental
  Client = nutbuster-fd
  FileSet = "nutbuster-set"
  Schedule = "Monthly"
  Storage = DLT-7000
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = Default
  Priority = 10
}

The DLT-7000 is a single drive, not a jukebox and the file set is large so
a full backup spans several volumes. As such, when the full backup starts
on the 1st Friday of the month, Saturday is spent swapping volumes and the
backup is still running into Sunday. So, another backup is scheduled by
the scheduler on Saturday as a Full not an Incremental. At least this is
the behavior I've seen, and I'm assuming it's because of the tape swapping
delay. Can anyone confirm that I'm correct or otherwise point me in the
right direction?

Thanks in advance,
Roy
