This little problem seems to come up repeatedly. To solve it simply add a RunBeforeJob that does a ping of the workstation before performing the actual job.
RunBeforejob = "/usr/sbin/ping <workstation>" should do it (add any other params to ping that take your fancy. Thus you use ping to determine your timeout. Regards Andrew R Paterson DS Ltd.

This is a frequent situation I encounter when trying to backup laptops during the day. I would like to set the limit to 5 minutes.
