[Bacula-users] Differentials and Full Backups

Hello All,

I'm quite new to Bacula and so far loving it.. it's solving soo many problems 
that I was having with running backups in the past.

However I do have a little question/clarification needed.

First some background..

I have two Storage devices, both are disk based.  One remains on site with a 1 
month retention period.  The other is a bunch of disks which head OffSite in a 
Locked Peli Case. Obviously I need to be sure that the OffSite backup contains 
a complete backup solution.  I take the OffSite backup off Site every 2 weeks.

Schedule {
        Name = "SiteCycle"
        # these handle the offsite backups
        Run = Level=Full Pool=OffSite Storage=DriveBays 1st, 3rd, 5th Friday at 
20:00 
        Run = Level=Differential Pool=OffSite Storage=DriveBays 2nd, 4th Friday 
at 20:00 
        # OnSite backups..Monthly Full, weekly differential, daily incremental.
        Run = Level=Full Pool=OnSite Storage=datastore 1st Friday at 00:05
        Run = Level=Differential Pool=OnSite Storage=datastore 2nd-5th Friday 
at 00:05
        Run = Level=Incremental Pool=OnSite Storage=datastore mon-sun at 23:05
}


Above is the schedule I'm using.. As you can see I'm doing a full backup on 
1st, 3rd and 5th Friday of the month, with a Differential in between.  
Basically after the differential has finished the disks would be swapped.

The question that arises is this... How can I be sure that the Differential is 
done against the Full backup done to the OffSite drives, rather than the Full 
backup Done to the OnSite ones??  Specially on the 1st Friday of the Month.

Cheers,
---Guy
