You are again looking at the matter from a developer perspective. It is flexible for you to make further changes and add additional features in the future.

Radosław, don't get me wrong, I respect your effort and work and the work of whoever worked on that software and it is not my intention to minimize the credits you deserve. I am just trying to show how the other side (admins) would see certain problems they would immediately observe. I also had some plans for Baculum but unfortunately it wasn't useful for me because it is not flexible enough. I wanted to write about that to the authors but had no time to do it and that was few years back so I would need to test it again. -- Josip Deanovic _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
