Well, if you look carefully at all the email lists, you will see that this topic has been discussed a *lot*, we are concerned about it, but no one has stepped forward to program it. In fact, at the current time, it is waiting for a few more financial sponsors to step forward. Out of the whole Bacula community, only two users have indicated a willingness to encourage a programmer financially. I take that to mean that most users consider that the feature is not very important ( not really true, but you probably get the idea ). > > M. > > On Nov 30, 2006, at 4:00 AM, Alan Brown wrote: > > > They have changed - their mtime has altered. > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Take Surveys.
