If you have to backup x hosts behind x firewalls maintained by x/3 unreachable and x/3 dismissive admins, you don't have much of a choice. > There is one Director substitution in the SVN trunk code that is not in the > global part of the JCR. It is done by using a callback. I see, thanks. While we are on the tunneling subject: RunBeforeJob is a great thing but it's not well suited for connecting to tunneled clients, clients in VPNetworks or for servers behind a dial-up connection. Something like `RunBeforeClientConnect' could do the trick but I don't know how possible this is, since it would require very smart scripts.
