Re: [Bacula-devel] Database version upgrade

[Yuri T. <ti...@gm...>]

I looked bvfs API in bacula 5.

But I do not know what it may be useful in webacula.

For example, for web based interface, how to organize the selection of
file/directory by clicking
and then unloaded to a file for processing by Director.

With bvfs API that I can see the same hard problem as without bvfs.

Possible for other web-interfaces, which need only view
files/directories, bvfs may be useful.
