Overall, not particularly tricky or risky, but if you have large sets of media and no good way to group them for bulk updates, the catalog changes can cause a bit of anxiety :-) Cheers, Arno -- Arno Lehmann IT-Service Lehmann Sandstr. 6, 49080 Osnabrück _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
