Hello Wanderlei,

Unfortunately, the community has rarely contributed to the manual, though they have feed in lots of information that I have put in the manual.  Perhaps 1 of every 20 submissions comes with documentation.  So it all falls on my back.  There is one exception to that, and it is the Enterprise manual, which is improving.  I have a project going with Bacula Systems to ensure that there is only one manual source rather than the two that currently exist.  Consequently there is a chance that within the next 6 months to a year that the manual will improve.

Developers including me detest writing documentation.  I write it because otherwise I spend too much time on support.  Even with a perfect manual, I spend too much time on support, because a lot of people do not read it.  Those are just facts of nature that we must live with unless a fairy goddess comes along and sprinkles some mother tongue technical person with fairy dust that causes him/her to get interested in the manual.

Best regards,

Kern

Hello Kern

Always when is necessary to take a look in the manual is painful, because there are a lot of new features and improvements that not well documented and many times when we doesn't achieve what we want, we give up.

How could the bacula community could help to keep manual up to date? In the last releases it looks only "new features" was updated.
There are many settings it would be interesting to have more examples to be clearly.

Best Regards
