A while back we discussed the idea of an Export job type (a variation of the Copy job, or maybe a special kind of Restore job) that could take selected files or jobs from the Bacula database and write them out in more mundane formats such as tar, cpio, or gzip format. I don't know if it'll ever get implemented, but it sounds like that would be ideal for what you're wanting to do here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
