As explained in one of the previous questions, Bacula will automatically upgrade an Incremental or Differential job to a Full backup if it cannot find a prior Full backup or a suitable Full backup. For the gory details on how/when Bacula decides to upgrade levels please see the Level record in the Director’s configuration chapter of this manual.
