I'd like to ask a side question (which I hope will not offend the
original author: I know that in my former backup software (HP Data
Protector), there was some value to keeping jobs longer than files. You
would still have the location of the job saved, and know where it was on
what tape. If you couldn't restore file by file, at least you knew where
to start to restore that listing and you'd know what backup to restore
if you wanted to go ahead and restore the whole thing. Is that true of
Bacula, or must you do a bscan to do anything useful?
