Hello, I think I briefly responded to this previously, but now I have had a chance to look it over a bit more carefully.
It seems that what you are requesting is not a suitable feature for Bacula. There exist plenty of shell tools for you to do this outside Bacula -- find, rsync, tar, cdburn ... Bacula creates backup Volumes that are quite suitable for archival but you must have Bacula or a Bacula tool to restore the files. In addition, at the moment, Bacula's DVD/CD writing ability is a bit unstable. > Hi... > Sorry not emailing to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but it rejected > my email (i will check my log files to find out why). > > Anyway a great bit of software but i would like to ask if this is > possiable (see feature request below. hopefully in right format).
