Subject: [Bacula-users] Incrementals not happening

Hi all,

I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with my configuration.  If run a full backup on the system Hawking, and then try to run an incremental against Hawking, the job gets promoted to full and I don't know why.  If I do a restore against Hawking, the most recent full backup is found and Bacula is able to build a file system tree.  To me, that says that the previous full backup ought to be suitable.  I'm running Bacula 7.0.5.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,

James
