Hello Thomas, hello all,
i've tried to get an official comment from FSC. Up to now, without result.
I've now planed to install firmware V13205, as you suggested. To get
things straight i also plan to upgrade to bacula 2.0.3 and install the
provided patches.
I'm asking you (and all others): Is there something i missed? Is there
a chance that backup will work there after?
Thanks for your help
with regards
Markus Schreier
