Full not recognized - bareos 23

[Markus Dubois]

I have started from scratch and did a full back.

During the full job the scheduled job from the same source was launched in wait state as incremental.

Everything fine so far….

But then the full job ended successfully and afterwards the wait state job started.

And it said in the logs ‚no prior full started full backup‘

Why is that?

I think that's because the backup level is determined at the time the job is scheduled, so if the full has not yet finished by the time the job is scheduled again, it will again schedule another full backup.

You can avoid this by configuring Allow Duplicate Jobs. See documentation here: https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_AllowDuplicateJobs
