Yes, the above is not documented because it is something that is not ready for "production" use. The syntax and sematics of specifying multiple devices in a Director Storage resource will almost surely change when we add the ability to backup to multiple Storage daemons. Thus as it stands, we do not support it, it is not documented, and you are free to use it but at your own risk. > > >> One other thing: I noticed is that if you run a job with run > >> Job=job-name storage=storage-name, the storage-name does not override a > >> storage definition in the selected pool.

Overrides is an area where I am not totally satisified, so any suggestions for improvement would be carefully considered.
