I have a custom query.sql, and option 22 in mine requires manual input because it asks for a pool or volume name - or something, I can't recall in this moment. This is what triggered my unwavering "this will not work" comment. :) Although, I must admit, I didn't think the bconsole query command would accept anything on the command line - I still learn something new every day I guess, even after 20+ years of using Bacula. :) Best regards, Bill
