Hello Everybody,

Yes, I am coming. Thanks for calling me here :-)

Baculum / Bacularis always use full as a base + incremental or
differential backups.

In the restore wizard close to the radio button with the "Selected
backup" restore method there is green help icon where is described the
way how this method works:

"Note: if you select incremental or differential backup, on the next
step will be also loaded all directories and files from older backups
required to do the job restore. In other words, the selected backup
determines time point from which will be loaded the selected backup
and other older backups (incremental, differential) backups up till
closest full backup."

If you don't use the restore from copy jobs function, Baculum will put
your selected jobid to the following bconsole command:

.bvfs_get_jobids jobid=XXXJOBIDXXX

that determines all single backup jobids needed to do a consistent data restore.

If you want to restore using copy jobs function Baculum will use own
algorithm to determine jobids because of an old bug in
.bvfs_get_jobids command described here:
