Aaaaah. So is the problem perhaps not so much one of needing to
schedule predefined maintenance windows within Bacula, as of having
Bacula automatically retry a client that is unavailable due to
maintenance? Because the latter - retrying unavailable clients after a
defined interval - can already be done with existing Bacula functionality.
