Hello everyone, 

I've recently started working with Bacula, 
Everything is working well but i would like to understand restore a bit more. 

I've found the best way to restore files is to use the brestore function in the 
BAT console installed on Windows.
You can browse files and restore them all is great. 
But the issue is when you set backups to keep (i've set it 3 days for testing 
purposes) 
If i browse a backup job older than 3 days, the job is empty (no files). 
Although the file size is still there, and i expected the back to be 
consolidated in the next job but no it didn't happen and the next jobs are 
still incremental (very small size and file number assuming it's still seeing 
the first FULL) 

Is there an effective way to browse backed up files ? the Webmin interface to 
restore files doesn't allow me to browse the files.  
Can i open the volume and browse the backup archives ? is there an effective 
way to view all backed up files and browse them and choose which one to restore 
? 
is it the right way to choose the number of days to keep backups or is there 
another way that will allow backup consolidation ? 

Thanks a lot


Ahmad
