You could try a run before job where you pass the job name to it. From that run before job script, call bconsole with a command like 'estimate job=$1' and parse the output (and yes, if the estimate triggers the run before job script this will badly recurse, but I don't think so :-) > The reason I ask this question is that I am trying to backup data from > laptops and there is only a limited number of hours in the day. Hmm. I'd do it differently: Set up a laptob-job, allowing only a certain number of simultaneous jobs of this type. Use reasonable retry counts and rerun attempts, and let the job run only at level incremental. In a run before job command check if the machine is available so the jobs don't block too long. Finally, I'd ceate a small script which reports which machines were not saved at all for some time, or have no full backup for a while, and then I'd ask these people and their notebooks to pay me a visit. Plugging a cable to the notebook and manually running a full backup should be rather simple and fast, then. Depending on the number of notebooks you have and your timing you could run the full backups overnight and not bothering your notebook-carriers at all with their backups :-) Hope this helps a bit, Arno > Thanks for the great software > > Stephen Carr > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Using Tomcat but need to do more?
