Have you looked at Run Before Job? The specified command is run as an external program prior to running the current Job. This directive is not required, but if it is defined, and if the exit code of the program run is non-zero, the current Bacula job will be canceled. http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Configuring_Director.html Be aware: I'm not sure of the consequences of having mixing hardware compression off with hardware compression on within the same tape. -- Dan Langille : Software Developer looking for work my resume: http://www.freebsddiary.org/dan_langille.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
