Item 1:   Extend the verify code to make it possible to verify
          older jobs, not only the last one that has finished

  Date:   10 April 2009

  Origin: Ralf Gross (Ralf-Lists <at> ralfgross.de)

  Status: not implemented or documented

  What:   At the moment a VolumeToCatalog job compares only the
          last job with the data in the catalog. It's not possible
          to compare the data (md5sums) of an older volume with the
          data in the catalog.

  Why:    If a verify job fails, one has to immediately check the
          source of the problem, fix it and rerun the verify job.
          This has to happen before the next backup of the
          verified backup job starts.
          More important: It's not possible to check jobs that are
          kept for a long time (archiv). If a jobid could be
          specified for a verify job, older backups/tapes could be
          checked on a regular base.

  Notes:  verify documentation:

          VolumeToCatalog: This level causes Bacula to read the file
          attribute data written to the Volume from the last Job [...]
          
          Verify Job = <Job-Resource-Name> If you run a verify job
          without this directive, the last job run will be compared
          with the catalog, which means that you must immediately
          follow a backup by a verify command. If you specify a Verify
          Job Bacula will find the last job with that name that ran [...]

          example bconsole verify dialog:

          Run Verify job
          JobName:     VerifyServerXXX
          Level:       VolumeToCatalog
          Client:      ServerXXX-fd
          FileSet:     ServerXXX-Vol1
          Pool:        Full (From Job resource)
          Storage:     Neo4100 (From Pool resource)
          Verify Job:  ServerXXX-Vol1
          Verify List: 
          When:        2009-04-20 09:03:04
          Priority:    10
          OK to run? (yes/mod/no): m
