[Bacula-users] Restores when the files are not present in the catalog

Hello everybody,
  today I had to make a full restore of a client. My backup policy says:
1) Make a full backup monthly.
2) Daily incrementals.
3) Every Sunday, run differential backups.

When I make a full restore, it starts with the last Full, then the 
differential volumes follow and last, the incrementals.

Now the problem: The files corresponding to the full backup used for the 
restoration were purged. And when I write "done" in the bconsole, it 
does not appear in the list of requiered volumes. My question is: Are 
the files backed up in the full volume actually restored?

This is an extract of the bconsole:


Building directory tree for JobId 26975 ...         <--- In this jobs 
the Full volume was written
Building directory tree for JobId 27648 ... 
Building directory tree for JobId 28138 ...  ++
Building directory tree for JobId 28384 ... 
Building directory tree for JobId 28489 ... 
Building directory tree for JobId 28544 ...  +
Building directory tree for JobId 28582 ... 
Building directory tree for JobId 28618 ...  +++
Building directory tree for JobId 28693 ... 

[........... output cut ................]

$ done
Bootstrap records written to /var/lib/bacula//some-dir.restore.5.bsr

The job will require the following
   Volume(s)                 Storage(s)                SD Device(s)
===========================================================================
 
   ****************  <------ Here there should be the Full Volume!!!!!
   Server-Diff-0001      some-sd-disco          FileStorage             
   Server-Diff-0002      some-sd-disco          FileStorage             
   Server-Inc-0006       some-sd-disco          FileStorage             
   Server-Inc-0004       some-sd-disco          FileStorage             
   Server-Diff-0003      some-sd-disco          FileStorage             
   Server-Inc-0005       some-sd-disco          FileStorage             

Will Bacula restore the files stored in the Full volume, although that 
volume is not listed above? If not, how can I restore those files?

What I've done is the following:
1) Restore only the Full volume. Bacula says there are no files in the 
catalog and asks me if I want to restore everything. I said yes.
2) Restore the other volumes, in other job, to the same place.

Well, I hope you can understand my doubt! jeje.

Bye! And thanks!
