Martin, I no longer have any of the latter, because I dropped and rebuilt my database using bscan to clear a multitude of duplicate-primary-key errors in the PathHeirarchy table that were occurring after first updating to 5.2.1. I will test the former scenario and report back. Specific error: If I use the BAT Restore button, select a Job, uncheck "Use most recent", and select a date corresponding to a 5.0.3 backup, I get an error popup reporting "No full backup before [timestamp] found." For example: No Full backup before 2011-10-27 13:20:15 found. If I leave 'Use most recent' checked, then all proceeds as normal through tree building etc. The restore tree is built from ONLY the three most recent jobs, run on 5.2.1, JobIDs 168, 173, 178. No 5.0.3 jobs appear in the list of available jobs to build the tree from. However, if I go to Jobs Run, the oldest listed backup for this client is JobID 1, 2011-09-05 04:30:24. 'list files JobId=1' yields the expected results, file list plus the following summary: +-------+-----------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+----------------+-----------+ | JobId | Name | StartTime | Type | Level | JobFiles | JobBytes | JobStatus | +-------+-----------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+----------------+-----------+ | 1 | Babylon5 Backup | 2011-09-05 04:30:24 | B | F | 474,957 | 15,906,563,359 | T | +-------+-----------------+---------------------+------+-------+----------+----------------+-----------+ The jobs list shows a total of 44 jobs for this client, three of those Full (two 5.0.3, one 5.2.1). Also, I received another error from this BAT session: After closing a couple of tabs, BAT became unresponsive. After killing it and restarting, I found the following error message displayed in the Director console: .messages 02-Nov 13:15 babylon4-dir: ERROR in authenticate.c:418 Unable to authenticate console "*UserAgent*" at client:10.24.32.10:36131. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, SQL wrangler, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA® Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
