First Full Backup is not consolidated

[Mike]

Hi,

I'm using Bareos 23 set to always incremental. The issue I'm encountering is that the first backup (Full backup), does not consolidate over time, whereas all subsequent incremental backups and their consolidations are properly consolidated together as expected.

Have any of you encountered this issue, and if so, do you know which part of the configuration might change this?

Thank you.

Hard to say without any configuration sample, but certainly you will have to have a look at
