Hi Phil

I'd be delighted if you could take a look at the python script and for
your comments.

It is part of the small .tgz archive here:
http://campbell-lange.net/media/files/bacula_tools_01.tgz

Please **do not** run it on a production Postgresql database.

Note that big backups (one with more than 7 million files, say) may take
up to 45 minutes to process.

If you are able to get the system to operate and you think it is useful
I'll stick the script on Bitbucket.

Regards
Rory

Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized
environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security 
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the 
two and get a better understanding.
