That's not quite the whole story - it doesn't differentiate them in at least
the following places I've found...
dird/ua_restore.c: select_backup_before_date()
This uses SQL commands defined in cats/sql_cmds.c that look at the
ClientId, the FileSet and the StartTime.
dird/backup.c: send_accurate_current_files()
dird/vbackup.c: do_vbackup()
These both use cats/sql_get.c: db_accurate_get_jobids(),
which checks the ClientId, the FileSet and the StartTime.
