Limitations

• Virtual Full jobs need to have one-to-one mapping with devices to avoid creating loops on said devices.

• Paths specified in the include= (backup) parameter or find command (backup-cli) must be absolute paths.

• The estimate command is not compatible with the Big FS Plugin.

• This plugin does not support incomplete jobs, as highlighted in Fileset example at Backup.

• In the restore command line of bconsole, the number of files reported as inserted into the tree may not match the actual number of entries.

• The setting waitjobcompletion=yes in the big-fs configuration file is ignored by the plugin.

• The restart command has limitations with plugins, as it initiates the Job from scratch rather than continuing it. Bacula determines whether a Job is restarted or continued, but using the restart command will result in a new Job.
