Normally, that is exactly what Bacula's restore does. I suspect that you are
doing something a bit unusual such as restoring by JobId rather than option 5
(current system) and so Bacula is unable to find where the file is actually
backed up, since Bacula normally only writes the data for the first hard link
of the file it finds.
