That might be tricky with the most recent backup for a client or list of files to restore types of restore, so you might need to restore by entering the jobids. __Martin -- Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies. http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsaconf-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

No. Related question: When bacula is considering which is the most recent full backup to compute differences for a differential backup will it consider all job definitions and thus consider my Offsite pool? Or will it just consider just the currently running Job definition and thus use only the Default pool (tapes)? It will consider the most recent occurrence of the named job with level Full. If you have a single job definition doing both standard and offsite backups, then there is a danger that the differential will be based relative to the offsite backup. It might be better to define a separate job for the offsite backup, using the same client and fileset as the regular job. __Martin -- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
