Hi,

So, Backups are made for two reasons:
- Someone broke in/the place burned down/whatever, and we lost all our
 data and we need to recover from that, preferably with as little data
 loss as possible. To be able to do so, you need to have off-site
 backups, preferably the latest if possible.
- Someone accidentally pressed 'delete' on the wrong file, and we need
 to get it back. To be able to do so, you need to have on-site backups,
 preferably the latest if possible.

Notice how these to requirements conflict.

Is it possible to have bacula base its incremental backups not on the
most recent full backup, but on the one preceding that? This way, you
can have your most recent full backup off-site, yet you should still be
able to restore the most recent version of a file, even if that tape
just happens to be off-site, without having to retrive them from the
off-site location.
