The usual method for things like this that are not implemented is to use a Run Before Job. I have two ideas on how this will work.
Method # 1: A Client Run Before Job can be run on the Client machine and passed the name of the text file on the client machine that the user creates. Then it will traverse all the paths in this file and add up the sizes of all of files and if this is > 4GB it will exit with a status that is not 0 as 0 means successful. This is difficult because you have to follow all the rules of bacula possibly on an include and exclude file and then add all this up possibly on windows and unix machines. Method #2: Use a Run Before Job on the server that launches the bconsole and gets it to run estimate on the job and then parses the result. One example of how get bconsole to run estimate the size of the MythTV job is the following: jmd1 bacula # echo "estimate job=MythTV" | bconsole Connecting to Director jmd1:9101 1000 OK: jmd1-dir Version: 2.2.0 (08 August 2007) Enter a period to cancel a command. estimate job=MythTV Using Catalog "MyCatalog" Connecting to Client jmd1-fd at jmd1:9102 2000 OK estimate files=74 bytes=931,262,944 You have messages. So then your run before script would take this output and find the bytes= part and see if that is less than 4GB. I would say the second method is not as difficult as the first...
