So then I am a bit confused as to why bacula hints at having a Client field and a Name field in the Job resource. I'll give this a try as from what you're saying that's how it's coded. However to me this looks like just wasteful duplication. If the job name is an index and the client name is an index to the same data (won't even go into the file set being an index that I found out before) then why have both (job name & client)? I would have thought that by having them separate that would allow someone to customize settings and have them ready-made to run interactively and using the client name as the catalogue index. (so a user doesn't need to manually modify runs, just select the job (which would have all the settings pre-set for them) and would link to the same client in the database. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
