Hi all,

I'm trying to log all the files backed up, on the FD side.

I'll explain myself before anybody tells me the information is in the database 
and bconsole :)

I know that all the information is stored in the director. But in my company, 
things are really compartimented, and there is a team responsible for all 
backups, and several admin teams working on the servers, doing everything but 
the backups.

To get the backups done, they have to fill forms, then other forms if they 
want to modify them, etc ... The problem being that :
- It's very hard to know what is really backed up after a while, if the 
information is scattered over several forms
- You have to really trust the people doing backups to have implemented 
exactly what is in these forms

To make things worse, the director and bweb and bconsole are in a special vlan 
where only people from the backup team can connect.

So many admins are left in the dark on whether the backup works or not (me 
included :) ).

So I wanted to be able to log locally on my server what is really backed up, 
to be able to check this periodically. And it seems I can't.

I've tried to put
syslog = all

in my Messages section on the FD. I get messages telling me that job XXX has 
started, and all restores are logged also. But I don't get messages for 
backed up files.

Is there a way to do it ? I understand that it is disabled by default, as it 
would generate a lot of logs, but I really need to be able to double-check 
the backups without filling 5 more forms :)
