Someone MAY have written code to do this already, so you might not have
to write it... but if not, I recommend you do this a different way. I
used to conduct full backups on the closest workday to the 15th of the
month in the past. As this is hard to explain how we figure this out to
even a staff member, it was harder than that for Bacula and I realized
at some point that I really don't care. Second Tuesday has been more
than sufficient. I also find that the simpler the schedule, the better
it survives operator error or device failure, in case something happens
one of those days a backup is destined to run.
