<shameless mtx plug> Since Bacula pretty much works with any autochanger that mtx supports you could use the database on the mtx website at mtx.opensource-sw.net.
If there is enough interest I could set up something similar for Bacula. We would just need to agree on the information we would like to gather. The automatic upload is a bit trickier. </shameless mtx plug> > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bacula-users- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Arno Lehmann > Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2007 1:13 AM > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Upgrade autochanger configuration? > > Hi, > > On 3/1/2007 4:32 AM, Ivan Adzhubey wrote: > > Thanks a lot, Arno.
