I think it is mostly things about the volumes that are normally set from the configuration (e.g. volretention). It also chooses different ids for various things such as clients and pools. None of this matters for restore, but the catalog should be restore from a backup before doing anything else. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
