It is a bit subtle ... What is defined in the restore Job definition has little relevance. When the restore command asks you what client you want to restore (supposing you choose an option like #5 rather than specifying JobIds), you answer with the client where from which the data was backed up. Then when you get to the yes/mod/no prompt after selecting all the files to restore, you use the "mod" option to change the client to where you want the data restored, and you will get just what you want. > > Thanks, > ===[George R.
