Note that it completely missed jobid 159,634 even though it was more recent. But the strange thing is that if i list the files in JobId 159,634 they're all in the database. There was an older jobId which has fallen out of the database because the tapes were purged yesterday, however selecting that one resulted in a "no files available for restore" message, while listing the files associated with it gave a complete list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
