Hi There,

I am wondering there is no well documented way to remove a client. I 
have found some information on the internet, but not sure if they are 
safe to use. What I've done:

We have a directory that contains a file for each client, including the 
"Job", "FileSet", "Client", "Storage" and "Pool" definitions.
Also we have a directory that contains a file each for each device, 
including the "Device" definition. I removed both files for a given 
client and restarted bacula-dir and bacula-sd.

Then I deleted the pools in the bconsole. I found a hint that I should 
manually delete the client in the table named "Client" in the database. 
I did and ran a dbcheck, but there were still a lot of entries in the 
database regarding to the removed client (in the tables "Storage", 
"Pool" and so on). So I removed them to and ran dbcheck again.

Finally I deleted the directory where the archives were saved.

Why is there no built-in function in the bconsole which easily and safe 
removes a client?
Is there a better way to perform such a task?

Regards, Christian Garling
