If you have a way of mapping the host names to a physical machine, you can use my queing/locking strategy described in: http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg13698.html Create one queue/semaphore per physical machine and have the $Conf{DumpPreUserCmd} command exit with an error if it can't get a slot/lock (also you will have to set $Conf{UserCmdCheckStatus} = 1;). -- -- rouilj John Rouillard System Administrator Renesys Corporation 603-244-9084 (cell) 603-643-9300 x 111 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ BackupPC-users mailing list BackupPC-users@lists.sourceforge.net List: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/backuppc-users Wiki: http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net Project: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/
