Hi,
I am trying to recover a number of directories all under the same parent directory structure like the following example.
/etc/app/storage/<multiple_sub-directories_starting_with_bloomberg>
When I run the restore with option 6, it gives me an error message like the following:
For one or more of the JobIds selected, no files were found,
so file selection is not possible.
Most likely your retention policy pruned the files.My full backup volumes are kept for 7 years and my incremental volumes from 6 months to 1 year. Since the earliest job (Full backup) was from March 9th, why am I getting the error message?
The Bacula version is Version: 5.2.12.
Is there another way of recovering the data?
