I reckon it would be. I didn't change this value, and
http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/New_Features_in_3_0_0.html#SECTION007101000000000000000
says it defaults to NO.
Which is why I make sure via my own code things work properly ;)
I will review the whole thing soon and see whether i've missed anything,
thanks!
