As I understand it, and perhaps other can correct/confirm: - when the first retention period is met, the data can be purged from the Catalog. Perhaps this data has been purged from the new database server after it was copied it. It was there, but now it has been purged. Has the 2 month period been met since that move? > It seemed that after the move of the backup server I lost my archive job > records from the catalog. > bacula did not find the archive jobs of the client in the catalog.

What did I wrong?
