Hello Gilles,

There are many Bacula directives such as RescheduleOnError and Timeouts that could mitigate this risk. > 2) How to prevent Windows from falling asleep during a backup? You can use before/after scripts to handle that: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/s4jrna/keep_the_system_from_sleeping/ Rgds.
