Yes, but what I am looking for is the easiest method for my team to
perform restores in case I'm not there, even if it is a restoration
from offsite volumes.  Having them go through the process of finding
the right volumes to purge and then purging them is something I don't
think they should have to learn how to do.  It's nice that the ability
is there in Bacula, but I think it's far too complicated for a robust
solution.  The solution needs to be easy and intuitive and merely
running a second client makes it ridiculously easy and intuitive.  I
think it's the right way to go for now.
