By the way, did you try bacula-users first?

This actually is doable using the current set of configuration
directives. I have the following in my bacual-dir.conf:
JobDefs {
Name = "LaptopTapeJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = bigiron-fd
Storage = Tape
Messages = Standard
Pool = TapePool
Priority = 10
Spool Data = Yes
Schedule = "SemiMonthly"
Rerun Failed Levels = yes
Reschedule On Error = yes
Reschedule Interval = 1 hour
Reschedule Times = 6
}
The last 3 lines are what you want. Set whatever start time you want,
then if it fails it will try again every hour for 6 hours.
There will only be an error if it fails after the last retry.
Is that the behavior you are looking for?
