2009-01-23 Thread Ari Suutari

Hi, This is know problem in bacula versions up to 2.4.4 It is fixed in recent beta 2.5.28-b1 This sounds great ! Are there any possibilities that the fix might be seen in future 2.4 versions, or should I just upgrade to beta versions ? Using beta versions is tempting, because I would like to use
