[Bacula-users] Does "client" in a Restore job template always get overwr

Hi everyone -- I've got a Restore job template like this in
bacula-dir.conf:

----
Job {
  Name = "RestoreFiles"
  Type = Restore
  Client = dirhost-fd
  FileSet = "etc"
  Storage = tape
  Pool = Daily
  Messages = Standard
  Where = /tmp/bacula-restores
}
----

Yet when I run "restore" from bconsole, the client always seems to get
set to the client that was originally backed up, rather than what the
template says -- IOW, it's going to send it back to the client rather
than (in my case) to the director.  Is this intentional, or have I
missed something?

(The reason I'm asking is that I ran into problems restoring a while
back while I was having DNS problems.  I assumed the restore would go
to the director, which was where I was running bconsole, but instead
it tried to send it to the client...which didn't work because DNS
wasn't working.  I'm trying to make this something that'll Just
Work(tm) in the case of network problems, rather than being one more
thing I have to keep in my head if there are larger problems.)

Thanks,
Hugh
