Hi Richard, I will try to modify bacula by myself. If I make any progress I will send you a patch. Could you give me any advice on where to start looking at the code to concentrate on this problem? Could this be solved directly in the dvd-handler script or should I modify the bacula core?
Thanks a lot!
