I think it is the only solution available. It is valid for files data only,
no application specyfic backups (excluding dump to the file). With suffix
manipulation, I think there is no useable functions inside Bacula (there
are some parameters which are available in Restore jobs only), so I had to
prepare some not so trivial sql statements.

Changing job dates (start,end, etc.) is simple when you bother catalog data
only. The other case are dates written to the volumes.

Application specific backups. :)
