It is probably a bit confusing that the FileSet is used for the backup, but
not in the restore (well, perhaps the FileSet name is used in a restore, but
not the contents).
Originally, I had planned to use the FileSet for restores, but I quickly
realized that it would be a real pain to edit the bacula-dir.conf file every
time you do a restore, so I implemented the restore command, and now
all restores must be done using "restore".
Unfortunately, the restore command doesn't have the best of all user
interfaces, and I don't think it is possible to recursively mark all *.dbx
files. However, if I am not mistaken, you must explicitly "cd" to each
directory to do your "mark *.dbx" command, or you must supply a list of
files.
