Yes, I was sarcastic, but life is (at least I am) like that. I certainly didn't mean to ridicule you, but rather to warn you that IMO, you were doing something that is *very* unlikely to work. Perhaps I was wrong -- I guess you fell into the 1% uncertainty that I had. I have my doubts, anyway, good luck. My advice to other users, remains the same: If a Job fails, the File records will most likely not have been inserted, and in such a case, marking the job as successfully terminated will most likely result in restore failure (or screw up of some sort) later down the road because those File records are critical for most restore operations. > > > On Jan 8, 2007, at 4:29 AM, Kern Sibbald wrote: > > > On Sunday 07 January 2007 23:03, Aaron Knister wrote: > >> I solved this problem myself.
