Hello, When a Bacula backup job terminates, all the File table entries are already in the catalog. So about the only thing that makes any sense is that you are running the script before the backup completes. Perhaps by simply adding a "wait" just before your llist, would solve the problem. H

Actually, the situation is a bit more complicated. It seems to be a false alert, but I haven't found the exact problem yet. The problem does not exist in version 5.2, but it does exist in 7.0, 7.2, and 7.4., and the problem does not exist in the Enterprise Edition, so nothing is really fixed y
