Back on 2009-09-27 Kern mentioned on the bacula-devel list that this was possible, but left undocumented because it is not ready for production use. I haven't noticed it being mentioned in the "New Features in x" sections of the docs, so I assume that is still the case, and it is a "use at your own risk" sort of feature. > Thanks > Stan > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval > Try the new software tools for yourself.
