[Bacula-users] Disabling full backups

For the record.

I was recently out of town.  Before I left, I manually ran a set of full
backups.  Then I put in a freshly recycled tape.

While I was away, the first Sun of the month came by.  This usually
fills the tape.  To disable those backups, because I had recently run
them manually, I commented out the following lines from my schedule
resources:

$ grep "Full 1st" /usr/local/etc/bacula-dir.conf
#  Run = Full 1st sun at 5:55
#  Run = Full 1st sun at 8:15
#  Run = Full 1st sun at 20:15

Then issued a reload within bconsole.  Here's an example from that file:

Schedule {
  Name = "WeeklyCycleDaytime"
#  Run = Full 1st sun at 20:15
  Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 20:15
  Run = Incremental mon-sat at 20:15
}

I also set myself a reminder to reverse this after the 1st Sunday.  The
above idea could be applied to other 'special' events.
