As a fairly experienced administrator with legato networker and EMC's EDM, I find it strange that I have to associate both a pool resource and a storage resource to a job definition with bacula, surely a pool is enough ? What are the benefits of having it the way it is currently ? >From a non coder/developers point of view I dont think it can be too complicated to write the something like; I need to write something to tape (covers backups starting and tape filling) which pool is it do I have a volume in a drive for that pool is the volume appendable and so on Cheers, Brian. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
