An FD will obey any director with the right password, providing the clients to which you are connecting to not have IP based restrictions in place. Remember: it's not just the director, though. You'll need to change the name of the storage daemon to which you connect in your test jobs too, or else each director will store the jobs to the old machine. :) j----- k----- -- Joshua Kugler CDE System Administrator http://distance.uaf.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
