Alternatively, you *could* try to restore your full backup somewhere else and then take the full (compressed) backup off that other client somehow pretending that it really was your *real* client (certain jiggling with Client settings will be needed in the Director's configuration to change the IP/hostname of that client). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
