A restore cannot be directly scheduled in the same way that a backup can be directly scheduled. This is because 99.9% of the times a restore is called, the sys admin or user needs to specify a lot of parameters. However, it is possible to schedule an Admin job that calls a RunScript that then scripts the restore with bconsole. If you are not sure how to script bconsole, first checkout the regress module of the Bacula CVS and look at the scripts in the tests directory. There are plenty of examples. If you need any additional help, I'm sure that after the holidays someone on this list can give a helping hand. Hint: You will need to use the "mod" option at the end of the restore command to direct the restore to a different client from the one that did the backup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
