Hi Steve, There is a "comment" field in the db for media table. This might be useful for your case. In bconsole, you can: * update volume=xxxxx comment="Files restored from this volume on 20180809" can also be scripted: (sorry, will wrap in email) echo "update volume=xxxxx comment=\"Files restored from this volume on 20180809\"" | bconsole Hope this helps, Bill -- Bill Arlofski http://www.revpol.com/bacula -- Not responsible for anything below this line -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
