thx for your answer,
but i doing disk-to-disk backups. And the reason why i want that
volume names detailing the volume contents is for possibility that the
bacula server crashes.
I wanted to copy from time to time the volumes to an external usb disk
and place this disk somewhere else.
And if something happens to all the Server, i could recover all the data
without with bacula command line tools without installing and rebuilding
bacula.
thx
