I've learnt something new today. It's clear that if I want to restore something from a specific backup job only then bconsole restore is the way to go. Thanks to all who cleared this up for me. -Chris- On Sat, 28 Oct 2023, 03:46 Marcin Haba, wrote: > Hello Everybody, > > Yes, I am coming. Than

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

Yes Bill that is very helpful. It is exactly as you say when I use bconsole restore. That works. I must have made a mistake when I tried with bconsole previously. I'm not able to reproduce that behaviour using Baculum, it always restores from a full irrespective of the level of the job being rest

Till now I have only ever done restores of full backups using the restore wizard of Baculum. When I did a restore of an Incremental backup, I found that it reverted to restoring the last full backup. I get exactly the same behaviour using bconsole restore. This is the restore job resource. Job {
