Item 1: Allow Jobdefs to inherit from other Jobdefs
Origin: Darien Hager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Date submitted (e.g. 28 October 2005)
Status: Initial Request
What: Allow JobDefs to inherit/modify settings from other JobDefs
Why: Makes setting up jobs much easier for situations with many
clients doing similar work
Notes:
Example: User has several JobDefs which all need Messages=standard,
Type=Backup, and settings for "Rerun Failed Levels" and "Max * Time".
This feature would allow those "common" properties to be within a
single JobDef which each child JobDefs inherits from, before the
final Job definitions sets further specifics such as Client.
Currently the documentation leaves open the possibility that this can
be done, but tests with Bacula 2.0.1 suggest that JobDefs entries
cannot themselves have a JobDefs property.
Technical caveat: Should probably include rudimentary checks against
a cyclic relationship, such as a limit to the number of allowed layers.
