Yes, in English the 3rd Friday of April is 21 April, but what you are telling Bacula (remember it is a computer so its language is a bit different/simpler) is: run the VirtualFull on Friday of the 3rd week.

I got tired of trying to figure out the schedules using the show schedule command, so I wrote the "status scheduled" command, which does most of the work for you.  It has a few options such as days=nnn  limit=nnn time=xxx job=xxx ...

If I remember right, the time option allows you to move around in time so if you want to see something a year later you don't need to print zillions of lines of output.

Best regards,

My schedule is this :
Schedule {
  Name = "Weekly-virtualfull-3"
## ex 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
    Run = VirtualFull 3rd fri at 19:00
    Run = Incremental 1st 2nd 4th 5th 6th fri at 19:00
    Run = Incremental mon-thu at 19:00
}

and for me, human ;) the third Friday is the 21 April on my calendar.
Now I know it. And the virtual backup was launched by hand.

Note of version : Bacula 7.0.5

Well if I am not mistaken,

You didn't show your schedule, but I suspect that you are taking "3rd Fri" to mean the third Friday, when it most likely means what is shown below, which is Level=VirtualFull the Friday of the 3rd week, which is the 14th of April.

Best regards,

Kern
