Again, thanks so much for the input folks. This gives me full confidence to
face the auditors and say "Bacula maybe free but is on a par with the
proprietary enterprise backup solutions".

Thanks for the input John. That will make me sleep easy this weekend :-)
Another question though. If I ever have to do the "bscan" command, will it

For all my backup volumes I have set the following:
File Retention:60 days
Job Retention:6 months
Volume Retention: 365 days
I have read and re-read the file restore section many times but would like
