I believe I already explained to you how I plan to get solutions that are "part of Bacula", and in explicitly acknowledging this issue, I cannot undstand why you say " If Bacula fails to acknowledge this ...". At the moment, there are *many* more critical features that Bacula lacks than what you are asking for when one looks at the voting results from the Bacula users themselves. In the mean time, the users using Bacula can help the project by either helping provide those solutions or by writing and contributing scripts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
