Mike,
Thank you, I've discovered the issue. Who ever set our back-ups up
originally set a file retention period of thirty days and a job
retention period of 365 so while I can see the job, the files are
pruned...
As I understand it from the manual I can use bscan to recover such
files, however there doesn't seem to be a bscan executable file in our
install is it a separate package (looked on the site, and it doesn't
look like it)? And the man page doesn't say anything about using
bscan.mysql etc...
deuteronomy:/etc/bacula# locate bscan
/usr/lib/bacula/bscan.mysql
/usr/lib/bacula/bscan.pgsql
/usr/lib/bacula/bscan.sqlite
/usr/share/man/man8/bscan.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/bscan.mysql.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/bscan.pgsql.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/bscan.sqlite.8.gz
deuteronomy:/etc/bacula#

The default file retention time is 60 days. Check your Volume, Job &

For what it's worth, what you just described is exactly what the
encryption code does.
At each backup, the file daemon:
1) Generates a session key
2) Encrypts that session key via PKE for all recipients (the file
daemon, any master keys)
3) Use that session key to perform symmetric encryption on the data.
This is standard for asymmetric encryption systems.
