Jerome, Yes, the ability to change the timeframe and clients was something that we required too and couldn't get from the existing tools. In this tool you can select timeframe as a duration from now to the past or select specific dates and times for starting and ending range. You can also change it by director, user defined group of clients, or select individual and multiple clients.
The custom report creation is basically creating a SQL query. I created custom functions that you put in the query that enables the scope/timeframe change. You then set the default scope, save the report, and it appears in the menu. I would like to have others test it now, but unfortunately I can't provide it to others until the open source project gets approved by my company at which time I will put it up on GitHub. I'm sure it will need additional testing then since it has only been tested in our environment. I will send an email to this Bacula users list with the link when it is ready. Hopefully it will be in a couple of months, by the end of the year at the latest. I put out the question now to make sure that it is worth the effort of going through the open source procedure and to see if anyone had some ideas that I could add to it. By requirements I assume you mean what I would call prerequisites. They are: Obviously a Bacula director A Linux (other unix could work but may need tweaking) server. It could be the same as the Bacula server or separate. Perl and a few modules PHP MySQL Webserver preferably Apache Browser for the front end. Currently Firefox is the only one where everything works flawlessly.

SNIP ... ] Hello, I have one important need I can't manage through webacula and bacula-web. bacula-web has some interesting reports, but it's not possible to tune them on the fly. For example, I would like to be able to change the timeframe of these reports or select several clients at a time. If we can create reports through the interface, it's more than perfect, I would be happy to test it. What are the requirements of the tool you developped? HTH.
