Yes, I do need to restore individual files sometimes because the archives contain a list of 'jobs' that we perform, and that archive may be 5TB in size. I occasionally get a request to restore a particular job, and I'd rather not restore 5TB of jobs to get at one job that may be 500GB.

You can still restore the job. You just have to restore all of it or none of it, you don't get to pick individual files. I frequently find this quite sufficient for my longer term backups. Do you actually need to retain detailed file lists for those? Remember, they're still in the volumes, just not in the catalog database. -- Craig Ringer ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
