That's seriously outdated by now. You should upgrade soon.

That should not be a problem at all. Just initiate the restore job, 
and after setting up everything, change the client to point to the 
machine you want to restore to. Then let the job run.

I don't know... If you gave us a bit more information (like what did 
you type in bconsole, and what output resulted) plus some more 
information about the jobs you want to restore we might be able to 
better help here.

It sure was... though the "simple" point is one you can discuss ;-)

Oh - and welcome here. Enjoy our help :-)

Cheers,
