Ah, That makes a lot of sense from a preservation of the jobs that's the best behavior, however we've shoehorned bacula into an archiving system so I don't want to lose access to the other data backed up on the media associated with the job.
I found this query that you commented on: http://adsm.org/lists/html/Bacula-users/2010-08/msg00412.html I think translating that to mysql and adjusting for job/mediaid will get me what I am looking for. The files in this job should be unique so if I were to find them would there be a way to safely remove them from the file table?
