I'm thinking that this in combination with Max Wait Delay can be the solution i'm looking for... > But this isn't a guarantee that you jobs will get killed at 8:00 am > or > the like since the job could start at different times waiting on the > previous jobs to finish, etc. Max Wait Delay will take care of that (?) > > But then again, it's backups and how important is your data?

Actually I'm installing a server for a company that has no IT support "inhouse" Meaning that the solution I deliver will have to be durable, fault tolerant and robust. I will be telling them that when they forget to insert a tape, they run the risk of losing there data. It is up to them how important there data is ;-) Luckily they also have a backup between sites using "Dirvish". Thanks!
