Hi MK, Thanks for the response!
File records, together with a table specifying which files are in
which job, tell you which jobs you need to restore particular file
if you want to do a selective restore.
Ah, I think I get it. Entire jobs can be (easily) restored if the
File Record is gone but the Job Record is present, but selecting
individual files before restore isn't (easily) possible
Weirdly this is clearly stated in bareos-21 documentation: "once the
File records are removed from the database, you will no longer be
able to restore individual files from the Job. However, as long as
the Job record remains in the database, you will be able to restore
all the files backed up for the Job."

But that whole section is gone for bareos-22! :(
it's not gone, just moved to another location ;-)
https://docs.bareos.org/IntroductionAndTutorial/WhatIsBareos.html#terminology
-> Retention Period
I think the intention of moving this section has been, so that it can
easier be found. Well ...
