Summary:                    Enter fd name when selecting server during restore
Description: 
When you have a lot of servers, it's a bit of a pain to have to look down a
list of 400 FD names to find the one you want during a restore (but also
other places).

Would it be possible to allow one to enter the number of the server OR the
name of the FD? Or perhaps even the hostname?

Just a little thing that would make a huge difference in every day usage.

Thanks

I suggest you bring these kind of ideas and questions up on the
bacula-users list. This database is for bugs only.  Please see the web site
for "Support", "Bugs", and "Feature Requests", which should clarify what to
do in different situations.

I believe that you can already do what you want.  Virtually every
parameter can be entered on a command line, and Bacula only prompts when
the parameters are not entered.  This is documented in the Console chapter
of the document.
