Look up the setip command in the manual. Set up your clients to allow setip to work. Use a small script on the clients to invoke setip and start the backup job. Or use a VPN. > 2.

You'd probably have to access the catalog do get something really useful. Perhaps add some python events to the job. In the end, starting a backup once per hour but only continuing if the client is available and also adapting the backup levels would be my solution. > These "problematic" clients are Windows based, unfortunately. > > Before I met Bacula I've been using afbackup that has a decentral job > control on client side.

Can you explain the last sentence? And would you care to explain that to him personally?
