The base jobs can use any fileset and even an other client if you want.

When you select a job for restore, the process will automatically
includes files from basejobs (looking the BaseFiles table). The FileSet
of the Base job doesn't really matter during the restore.

It's not needed.

If you use the option 3 in the restore menu, you can choose the JobId of
the Base job.

It's not always very efficient to mix clients or OSes in BaseJobs,
because by default, if a mtime/ctime is different from one system to an
other, files will be backed up again during the next Incremental (when
using Accurate=yes).
