Hello, Although it would be useful to have vacation schedules directly in Bacula, your Feature Request doesn't explain in a way that can be implemented what you really want as there is no common definition of what a holiday/vacation and you do not specify how this should be handled.
In addition, we already have a Feature Request #2 in the projects file that would add significant additional functionality to schedules. For the moment, I am not accepting your Feature Request for inclusion in the project files for the above two reasons. What I suggest is that you take a look at the current project item #2 and see if you can make some specific changes (possibly with examples) that would permit doing what you want in a simple and easy way, then submit a "modification" or "enhancement" to item #2.
