An alternative method that has worked for me is to use autofs to mount/unmount Samba shares when they are accessed. Autofs also is used to mount/unmount NFS shares, so by redefining the mountpoint in autofs I can move the storage around as needed without making any changes to bacula config or scripts. This has been convenient, but the RunScript method is probably easier to setup if you don't already have autofs installed and working. > Thanks, > Frank > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
