Has you job retention period expired? Either way you can get this back using the bacula volume utilities. http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/utility/utility/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION00272000000000000000 Make sure you have a longer retention period before you run this otherwise bacula can expire the records just after it is done with the recovery..
