Hello,

Has anyone tried setting up a situation where you have multiple layers of job 
definitions? I'm trying to set up an environment where I have default jobs that 
define the bulk of the normal options. Like the DefaultRestoreJob below. Then 
have another job definition that overrides some of the defaults specific to a 
storage daemon and Finally an actual job that uses the second level job 
defaults. Basically ending up with the RestoreCatalog job inheriting from the 
sd9-DefaultRestoreJob which inherits from DefaultRestoreJob.  What I'm running 
into is when running bacula-dir -tv I get the following error. 

25-Feb 10:44 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION
"type" directive in Job "RestoreCatalog" resource is required, but not found.

I have a similar level of inheritance for backup jobs and I'm not seeing this 
error. If I put in a Type = Restore into the sd9-DefaultRestoreJob I do not 
encounter this error. I also have a similar setup for backups but they do not 
have this error either. 

I'm looking for feedback as to whether or not this should work or if it's just 
a bad idea. 

JobDefs {
 Name = "DefaultRestoreJob"
 Messages = Standard
 Type = Restore
 Priority = 9 
 Write Bootstrap = "/var/db/bacula/%c.bsr"
 Pool = NoPool
 Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1
 Allow Duplicate Jobs = No
 Allow Mixed Priority = Yes
 Where = /tmp/bacula
}

JobDefs {
 Name = "sd9-DefaultRestoreJob"
 JobDefs = "DefaultRestoreJob"
 Pool = sd9-Tape-Test
}

Job {
 Name = "RestoreCatalog"
 JobDefs = "sd9-DefaultRestoreJob"
 Client=testclient-fd                 
 Messages = "testclient"
 FileSet="Catalog"                  
 Where = /tmp/bacula-restores
}

Thank you,

James
