Many thanks for your response and feedback. As always any fresh look at the
project is precious and it helps to see it using other pair of eyes.

Comparing visually two demos it can look as you described. Bacularis is a
fork of Baculum so it contains Baculum functions. To better know the
differences, if I could advise something, I would propose to read the
Bacularis website. The news section is a good place for start the same as
the documentation. I also encourage to visit the GitHub project.

It is versions box where you can choose version of selected file. It lists
all versions of file for selected client, path and file.

When you select from file versions box files to restore, you can see yellow
tooltips for each file. In this tooltip is information about jobid for file
together with few other file version properties.

There will be restored file version from the latest job.

It is something to fix. Thanks for catching it.

This has been fixed already in 1.0.9. The version used in the online demo
does not contain this fix yet.
