hi Palen sorry for the delay ... but better late than never :) here is some comment with regards spooling feature: this doesn´t work for me until i set the following parameter on Job level: see here Spool Data (Dir->Job) <https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_SpoolData> Spool Data = yes this setting can be overwritten in a Schedule: see here Run (Dir->Schedule) <https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Schedule_Run> the rest works like a charme at present time.
