Re: [Bacula-devel] Patch: Update Volume Command

[Eric B. <er...@eb...>]

Hi Allan,

Good idea, but it would be much greater if this option was available in
user interface (menu). Direct command line is always
optional/obscure/undocumented.

We can imagine something like

update -> Volume -> RecyclePool
1. Default
2. Scratch
3. ...
4. *None*     <----

Maybe by tweaking select_pool_dbr().

What do you think ?

Bye
