Summary	0001362: Documentation of job type "Archive" is missing
Description	The documentation of the "Always Incremental Concept" https://docs.bareos.org/TasksAndConcepts/AlwaysIncrementalBackupScheme.html#always-incremental-concept mentions a jobtype "archive": "Therefore, the jobtype of the longterm job is updated to “archive”, so that it is not taken as base for then next incrementals and the always incremental job will stand alone." But the documentation of job type https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_Type does not mention or explain this jobtype "archive".
Tags	No tags attached.

arogge 2024-05-08 15:19 manager ~0005916	The status of JobType "Archive" is not 100% clear. We would first have to find out if it is actually a valid jobtype that works before we document it as such. While it would be best if that was documented correctly, we don't see an immediate need to do so right now. Sorry!
