Re: [Bacula-users] scheduling problem

I stand corrected. I finally got through the full backup, swapping volumes
as soon as I could once they were requested but the following 2 nights
bacula scheduled another full backup (when it should have been
incremental).

If anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them.

Thanks in advance,
Roy
