Hello Expert,
We have been using Bacula Version: 7.4.0.
Recently we introduced Offsite backup pool with N no. of tapes. The
retention periods are as follows,
File Retention : 92 Days
Job Retention : 92 Days
Volume Retention : 365 Days
Every month we take offsite backup and the respective tapes move out of the
library manually. And replace them with the oldest backup tapes.
I use 3 sets for this so that I delete the oldest tapes from this pool and
add the tapes from next-backup-cycle set (which was previously kept aside).
In order to verify , I tried to do restore for one of the hosts and
surprised to found that it allows me to choose only from 1 Set.
Select the Client (1-17): 2
Automatically selected FileSet: ClientA_offsite_system
+-------+-------+----------+---------------+----------------
-----+------------+
| JobId | Level | JobFiles | JobBytes | StartTime |
VolumeName |

Whereas actually there should be atleast 2 more available backups done in
previous months , as indicated by the query,
query #5 {List all backups for a Client}
Choose a query (1-20): 5
Enter Client Name: ClientA

As can be seen in the recors , there have been 3 backups done on
02-07-2017 and 30-07-2017 and 27-08-2017.
Then why am I being presented with only backup from 27-08-2017 at the
restore prompt?
Thanx in advance.
Regards,
Sachin
