Hello Craig,

Given the first message below:

    No prior or suitable Full backup found in catalog. Doing FULL backup.

I would agree with Bill's first point.  It appears that your Full backup was pruned, so Bacula had to do another one.

Best regards,

Kern

Hello All,

I have a few jobs that are on the below schedule:

Schedule {

  Name = "WeeklyFullOnFriRunFirst"

  Run = Level=Full fri at 17:58

  Run = Level=Incremental sat-thu at 18:00

}

The jobs followed the schedule until last night which was a Thursday.  An incremental was suppose to run, but a Full was run instead.  Would anyone know what could cause this to happen?  Previous full backup did run on a Friday at 17:58.

The log for these jobs show similar text shown below:

bacula-dir JobId 413490:

bacula-dir JobId 413490: No prior or suitable Full backup found in catalog. Doing FULL backup.

bacula-dir JobId 413490: Start Backup JobId 413490, Job=servername.2017-03-30_18.00.06_05

bacula-dir JobId 413490: Max configured use duration=82,800 sec. exceeded. Marking Volume "servername-258519-vol" as Used.

bacula-dir JobId 413490: Pruning oldest volume "servername-263826-vol"

bacula-dir JobId 413490: There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "servername-263826-vol". Marking it purged.

bacula-dir JobId 413490: All records pruned from Volume "servername-263826-vol"; marking it "Purged"

bacula-dir JobId 413490: Using Device "servername" to write.

bacula-sd JobId 413490: Recycled volume "servername-263826-vol" on file device "servername" (/backup01/servername/), all previous data lost.

Seems like something is out of sync with the schedule that is causing the Full to run on the wrong day.

Best regards,

Craig
