Item n: add an item to the restore option where you can select a pool Origin: kshatriyak at gmail dot com Date: 1/1/2006 Status:
What: In the restore option (Select the most recent backup for a client) it would be useful to add an option where you can limit the selection to a certain pool. Why: When using cloned jobs, most of the time you have 2 pools - a disk pool and a tape pool. People who have 2 pools would like to select the most recent backup from disk, not from tape (tape would be only needed in emergency). However, the most recent backup (which may just differ a second from the disk backup) may be on tape and would be selected. The problem becomes bigger if you have a full and differential - the most "recent" full backup may be on disk, while the most recent differential may be on tape (though the differential on disk may differ even only a second or so). Bacula will complain that the backups reside on different media then. For now the only solution now when restoring things when you have 2 pools is to manually search for the right job-id's and enter them by hand, which is a bit fault tolerant.
