 100 copies of the OS, there will be only one.  If one or more of the systems
 have some files updated, no problem, they will be automatically restored.
 
-A new Job directive \texttt{Base=Jobx, Joby...} permits to specify the list of
-files that will be used during Full backup as base.

-\begin{verbatim}
-Job {
-   Name = BackupLinux
-   Level= Base
-   ...
-}
-
-Job {
-   Name = BackupZog4
-   Base = BackupZog4, BackupLinux

-In this example, the job \texttt{BackupZog4} will use the most recent version
-of all files contained in \texttt{BackupZog4} and \texttt{BackupLinux}
-jobs. Base jobs should have run with \texttt{level=Base} to be used.
-
-By default, Bacula will compare permissions bits, user and group fields,
-modification time, size and the checksum of the file to choose between the
-current backup and the BaseJob file list. You can change this behavior with the
-\texttt{BaseJob} FileSet option. This option works like the \texttt{verify=}
-one, that is described in the \ilink{FileSet}{FileSetResource} chapter.

-\begin{verbatim}
-FileSet {
-  Name = Full

-\textbf{Important note}: The current implementation doesn't permit to scan
-volume with \textbf{bscan}. The result wouldn't permit to restore files easily.
