The different jobs were to make running ad-hoc backups of a client outside of the schedule. All the backup jobs have the same client and fileset. So are you suggesting that the job name is an index to the catalogue? If so then how would you be able to configure bacula to run ad-hoc jobs against a client? They would never match the catalogue? I also found a reference in a google search that a full backup needs to be run from the schedule not manually for it to be linked? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
