Hello Howard -- welcome back, Sorry to take so long to answer. My Inbox gets so many mails every day that if I don't answer immediately, I have a hard time with all the new mail coming in to get back to something that came before :-(

Good. > > Has anyone, or is anyone, considering making Amazon S3 storage available as > an off-site media for the Storage Daemon ? Yes. That might be interesting. However, they seem to be somewhat limited in the number of buckets that each user can have, and there are other interesting Cloud services that use Webdav, which might be much easier to program to. That said, an S3 Bacula driver would be very nice. > > Kern, is it possible to have more than one Storage Daemon running on a > machine ? Yes, you can have as many as you want -- you just have to assign them different ports. In general it is not necessary to have multiple storage daemons on a single machine because a storage daemon can handle multiple devices. > > Would anyone welcome a GUI program for creating / editing / validating > configuration files for the Director [+SD, +FD later ...] ?

We actually put too much into it and did not have the time to complete everything we wanted and the documentation is not what I wanted. However, 3.0.0 is *very* stable compared to previous Bacula first releases of a major version, and I am very happy about that.
