Hi all.

Bacula version: 5.0.0

At the moment I do a full backup at the start of the month then do a diff backup every weekend and incremental backups every evening. I would like a way to speed up the entire backup process. I am thinking of removing the diff backup jobs and only running full and then incremental. Would this be a good strategy? My backups are file volumes and no tapes.

Hello Waqark. If you know the difference between differential and incremental you will probably be fine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dy2FhY2Rr34
As for rotation strategies I really like the most popular one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backup_rotation_scheme#Grandfather-father-son
