Hi John,
Well, I've tested like the way you said me and it worked.
I used the Level DiskToCatalog cause is a Backup in Disk, so, I've noticed
that it always do the "verify" with the last job written on the Catalog.
Thus, I couldn't check an older backup.
Another thing...in this test I got two .txt files with nothing write in
them, i.e, they were 0 KB. Bacula considered them, either with MD5 or SHA1,
like inconsistent files with those in the Catalog. When I wrote something in
them and redid the test, so, the verification was OK.
Thank you John, for your explanation.
Just one more question for now....it seems such obvious, but, the Level
VolumeToCatalog would be when I use Tapes? Is that right?
