Hi @All! I'm quite new to this Bareos - Backup - Thing and currently finding my way through the documentation, setting up a test environment.
One thing which caught my attention is the naming scheme used: Clients are postfixed with "-fd", Jobs with "-job", ... For me this looks like an unneeded repetition of information which is already there (the context of the items definition). From a programmers point of view it feels like its violatig the DRY principle - and from a users perspective it makes the Web-UI feel way more geeky and complex, than it obviously is. However, every example I've found in the docs as well as on the net seems to adhere to these postfixes - which makes me curious if the postfixes are needed because of some technical requirement I'm not aware of? And/or it has some other downside if you simply omit them? What is considered to be a best practice naming strategy? What are the pros and cons? Thanks for enlighten me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
