Hi Blake,
That sounds great, exactly what I've been looking for by the sound of it.
If you can provide this and some details of how to get it working, I
for one would be very interested and grateful.
Incidently, how would using such a patch affect upgrading Bacula in
future, etc. I presume you are using it in a production environment
and find it stable.
Does this patch replace the actiononpurge feature entirely?
I'd suggest something like this should be considered for the next
version of Bacula.
Dermot.
