Hello, That is good to know. You probably already know two things, but I mention them for those who do not know: 1. There is a chapter (or at least a section) in the main manual on how to create bootstrap files from Job output. 2. Bacula 7.4.4 or any other Bacula is perfectly capable of readi

Hello Martin, Thanks for mentioning that VolAddr is undocumented. That was an oversight that I will fix. Please be aware that VolAddr is a relatively new bsr keyword, so it will not work on older Bacula's such as 5.2.x. I don't remember when it was implemented. Note also: VolAddr is formed
