Plugin backups - questions / computer search form

Hi all:

     I've just installed the plugin backups version 1.3 for GLPI 0.71.  I'm a bit confused as to how computers should be associated to backup jobs.  In our environment, we have 3 distinct systems:

        1.  The computers being backed up by a backup job
        2.  The computer that is the backup management server, where you define what computers get backed up and how
        3.  The backup device, such as a tape library

     It appears that the backup device/backup management server should be added to the backup jobs->associated periphericals form, and the computers being backed up should be added to the computers/safeguarded elements form.  however, you can only search on the computers form by the backup jobs -> associated periphericals, not the computers added to the computers/safeguarded elements (field: plugins>backups>jobs>name).  This is not ideal, as I would like to be able to perform searches based on what computers are being backed up.  For instance, I might search for all computers running Server 2003 that are associated to the backup job "registry".

     Could someone shed some light on this?

     Also, as a suggestion, it would be nice to tie the backups plugin to the databases plugin, so that you can associate a specific database to a specific backup job and script.

     Thanks!
