Hmmm, you are right, it does control the client used for some of the interactive options. > To specify a different client to which you want to restore, you must specify > it using the mod option after the prompt. The following may be a bug then :-) The client option also sets the default destination client in the mod settings and hence the client used when no other questions are asked. E.g. restore jobid=X client=Y where=/tmp/test all done yes will restore to Y regardless of the client used by jobid X. __Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
