I checked for this capability (and double checked just now) when I setup my Admin verify trigger jobs. I dont get an option to specify the job by JobID (eg 'Verify JobID=6192')- only by selecting a job name from a list. I even tried to enter the job id at this prompt but was told to enter a number between 1 and 9. Not sure that comes under the heading of bug report, unless it's supposed to be an option and isn't showing up. If that's the case, let me know and I'll file it. :-D >> 2) Add the ability to specify a job by offset or scheduled start time. ie >> Verify the 2nd last BaculaCatalog job or the BaculaCatalog job that was >> scheduled to start on Friday.

Once I wrap my head around it and work out how I think it should work I'll post the request. Currently I'm leaning towards something along the lines of 'Verify Job Offset = 2' which would verify the 2nd last backup job instead of the last one. Not sure the name is quite right, because it isn't really clear what it does. But its a work in progress.
