You current choice is to just restore the entire job, and then do the inspection of the files/directories once the restore is complete.

I know this is probably not the answer you wanted to hear. :-|

If your environment is not very large (think million/billions of files), then typically we recommend to set the File and Job retention periods to be the same so that if the Job is in the catalog, then you know that you will be able to select specific files from
that job.

I hit this again today and have to restore a full job etc.

I'd like to adjust that and so I ask it here with the full example:

I have

Client {
  Name = "samba-fd"
  Address = "samba"
  FdPort = 9102
  Password = "_xxsomepass"
  Catalog = "MyCatalog"
  FileRetention = 5184000
  JobRetention = 15552000
  AutoPrune = yes
}

(this means JobR= 180 days, FileR = 60 days, according to bacularis-GUI)

And you suggest to change it to:

  FileRetention = 15552000
  JobRetention = 15552000

?

Did that right now, just would like to hear it's done right :-)

I'll have to monitor the db-size then more closely.

thanks
