Hello,

As a new bacula user, I'm currently setting bacula-2.4.2 to perform the 
same backup jobs on 2 distinct medias: DLT tape and (removable) hard drives.
I want this way to do, since this usage is dedicaced to disaster recovery.

Since the DLT tape is on a dedicated host, the spooling feature is 
highly recommended in the manual.
So I use "DataSpool = yes" in my defaultJob definition, in order to be 
inherited on all jobs.

So all the jobs, used with the harddrive pool, will also have the data 
spooling enabled ... that is rather counter-productive while backuping 
into File storage, as written in the manual.

I understand that the SpoolData feature can be enabled/disabled on a Job 
ressource, but why SpoolData feature is not available on a pool or 
device ressource ? After all, the spooling feature exists because of 
specific device comportment (tape drive), no ?
So SpoolData should be a property of a Device ressource definition ?

In my mind, SpoolData should be settled on a Storage resource, and take 
precedence over its usage on a given Job, no ?

I also tried to set MaximSpoolSize and MaximumJobSpoolSize to 0 on the 
hard drive device definition, but it does not work; perharps value 0 
means "unlimited" on these Directives ?

Thanks for your comments or advices !

Piere Bourgin
