Hi,
I have small problem when backuping my laptop with bacula. I have configured bacula to backup my data each hour (to be more specific I set it to backup on each 10th and 40th minute) and it works. But when I'm not connected into network then jobs are queued and after that if laptop is connected to network bacula starts all "expired" jobs. It is not big problem because I'm using incremental backup, but I don't know how to prevent such situtation. Only options I've found is FD connect timeout - but this should be 30 minutes by default (acording to manual) and if I understand it correctly it makes bacula to cancel job if FD is not available. Am I missing something here ? Is there some other option to cancel jobs if FD is not available ?


See the directives Max Start Delay and Max Wait Time in the Job section in the manual. Also, you could use a Run Before Job script that tries to ping the client, and exits with an error code if the client isn't available. This will fail the job immediately.

Thanks,
Max Wait Time works for me.
I have also forgotten about Run Before Job :-/ - simple WYSIWYG solution (What You've Scripted Is What You Get :-)) .
