You can try limiting your configuration to a single job, and tell it when to do a full or incremental backup through the schedule, like below.

Any backup type specified in the Schedule overrides the “Level = Full” in the job definition (which is still required to be there, but will be ignored if you specify it in the schedule).

 

Which pool to use can be specified per backup type in the job def.

As with Level, the ‘Pool =’ line is required, but it only provides a default. ‘Full Backup Pool’ and ‘Incremental Backup Pool’ override it.

 

The storage can be specified in the pool resource, I moved it there because you have two pools on different storage devices. This isn’t required in either the job or the pool def, but if it isn’t specified in one it must be in the other.

 

Also remember that if you change anything in the include or exclude list in a fileset resource between backups, the next backup will default to full again (unless you tell it not to, by including a “Ignore Fileset Changes = yes” line in it – which will itself only take effect after the next backup, so you may still be saddled up with a full the first time if you’d rather have an incremental).

 

 

Based upon your configuration, I come to something like this (but without testing, absolutely no guarantee that it is working).

 

 

Schedule {

  Name = "WeeklyCycle"

  Run = Full sat at 20:10

  Run = Incremental mon-fri at 20:10

}

 

Job {

  Name = homedir-bioinfo03-weekly

  Client = bioinfo03.ibi.unicamp.br-fd

  JobDefs = DefaultJob

  FileSet = homedir-bioinfo03

  Level = Full

  Schedule = WeeklyCycle

  Spool Data = "">

  Pool = Tape-Weekly

  Full Backup Pool = Tape-Weekly

  Incremental Backup Pool = File-Daily

  Type = Backup

  Messages = Standard

}

 

Pool {

  Name = Tape-Weekly

  Pool Type = Backup

  Storage = tape-autochanger

  Recycle = yes                      

  AutoPrune = yes                  

  Purge Oldest Volume = Yes

  Volume Retention = 28 days

  LabelFormat="Week-"

}

 

Pool {

  Name = File-Daily

  Pool Type = Backup

  Storage = File

  Recycle = yes                      

  AutoPrune = yes                  

  Purge Oldest Volume = Yes

  Volume Retention = 6 days       

  Maximum Volume Bytes = 80G

  Maximum Volumes = 5             

  Label Format = "Vol-"              

}
