Does "individually" mean one at a time, i.e. repeated use of option 3? If so, do you get corruption if you enter all the jobIDs into a single option 3 in the same order as bacula chose from option 5?

Theron> Has anyone seen behavior like this or have any ideas about where to look? For a particular restore, is it always the same files that are corrupted? If yes, is the garbage really random or is it the same garbage each time? Also, what happens if you use option 5 but only mark one of the corrupted files for restore? __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
