Hi John,
thank you.
Sorry to ask again. Do you know if I have to do the programming for the tape
library? Or is that functionality already in the bacula software. basicly in
the feature list this seems to me included in the fuctionality, but i heard
from someone else who checked bacula, that there is a lot of programming to
do.
