> Hello, > We make a backup product that uses Bacula as the backend. Our systems run > Ubuntu > v12.04 (kernel v3.12.17) with Bacula v5.2.12.

(message command) Can you post the the output of a show jobs after the reload command? Ps.: Bacula is two major releases ahead and I think this hypothetical bug would only be fixed if reproduced in 7.2.0 version, but I'm not a developer. > Thank you in advance for your help. > Regards, > Rich Otero > Director, Technical Support and Professional Services > EditShare > rot...@editshare.com > 617-782-0479 Regards, =========================================================================== Heitor Medrado de Faria - LPIC-III | ITIL-F | Bacula Systems Certified Administrator II Do you need Bacula training? http://bacula.us/video-classes/ I do Bacula training and deploy in any city of the world.
