Good laugh there :)

My company has requested this feature (copy jobs between multiple SDs)
and is willing to pay half of what Bacula Systems wants for
implementing. They asked for 10k€ and we are willing to pay 5k€.

Our main reason to request this feature is that we can have a central
director in our office, a SD in our office and a SD in the datacenter.
We could then do a (local) backup in the datacenter and copy those jobs
to our office-sd during off-hours. And from there they get copied to
tape for achival.

It would be great if we could find more people willing to commit money
to this feature. On the other hand if any devs feel up to the task and
the 5k€ we offer is enough that would be great too.

Best regards,

Daniel Holtkamp
