I have taken quite a bit of time to provide an index in the manual. There are actually four indexes, which complicate things but allow more precise indexing. To use the index, go to the Bacula web page; select the Development manual; click on Index on the top left of the page; since the Director controls the catalog, click on "Director Index" at the top left of the page; scroll down to "Directive, Catalog Files", click on the link (The Pool Resource) and you will have your answer. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
