Hello,
It is not a question that I will not document something, why would I
write code and discuss it if I did not want to document it? It *was* a
question that I incorrectly thought it was already documented.
What some people tend to forget is that I am doing this for free, I
volunteer for this. Most people have a job and they use Bacula to get
their job done, and they get paid for what they do -- not me. For
transparency: I do have a salary for Bacula Systems, but it is only
symbolic. I make less than any other employee in Bacula Systems, and
probably less than the cleaning lady -- this is no exaggeration.
That simply means that I do everything for Bacula for free, as I have
done so for 14 years. With volunteers such as myself, if one wants
something, the agreeable approach that 99.9% of the people on this list
take is more in the non-contemptuous spirit of this list and much more
likely to get results.
Thanks for pointing out the problems and undocumented features. Despite
having my motivation sapped, I will see what I can do.
Best regards,
Kern
