Yes, but what I am looking for is the easiest method for my team to perform restores in case I'm not there, even if it is a restoration from offsite volumes. Having them go through the process of finding the right volumes to purge and then purging them is something I don't think they should have to learn how to do. It's nice that the ability is there in Bacula, but I think it's far too complicated for a robust solution. The solution needs to be easy and intuitive and merely running a second client makes it ridiculously easy and intuitive. I think it's the right way to go for now.
