I'd not like to do that stuff with Bacula, as it would simply annul some of the major and best features of bacula and strip it down in some kind of way, which I don't really like and what isn't what I want to do. > > Arno Benni > > > Greetings, > > > > Benni > > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Take Surveys.
