Hi, I had a problem with space in my bacula server
in May 2 so the jobs had to stay in the queue. In May 3
bacula should do a full backup but due to the space the
job stayed in the queue and then failed. The next jobs
starting to entering the queue too ending up in a long
queue.
I solved the problem with space in May 23 and then the
queue started to run again and in May 23 it started an
incremental job scheduled to run on May 6. Since the
full backup job failed and left the queue on May 3 then
this incremental was upgraded to full. When the job
finished the next one in the queue started, an
incremental one that was scheduled to run on May 7.
Now the problem:
This new incremental backup was upgraded to full too
even that the previous one was full. It appears that
bacula considered the date of the jobs in the queue to
decide if it should upgrade and not the date of the last
full job. This ending up in bacula upgrading every
incremental backup in the queue to full until May 23
(when I solved the space problem and the full backup was
done) resulting in about 17 full backups in the same
month.
Is this normal behaviour? Shouldn't bacula consider the
date of the last full backup since the date the job is
running instead of the date the job was scheduled?
Hello Rodrigo: yes, this seems accurate. Bacula can
only perform incremental backups if it terminates
successfully a backup from the specific client, with a
given FileSet.
About the duplicated jobs that stalled you can avoid
that with the Allow Duplicate Job=no directive.
About the dis-allowed duplicate job - doesn't Bacula actually
consider that one also failed, so if you have "Rerun Failed Levels =
yes" then the full backup will be ran next time anyway.
At least this was the case in the past, if I recall correctly.
