No, that would be difficult to do because you can't simply say "ALL other programs" need to be locked out. Some would have to stay running just to keep the system going. If you are backing up things such as databases or email systems, and are using snapshots, such a lockout would defeat the purpose of the snapshot.
If you do have such a conflict, you will need to resolve it on a case-by-case basis. Usually, the ClientRunBeforeJob and ClientRunAfterJob scripts can be used for that purpose. Restore doesn't need locks anyway because by default you are not restoring to the same location where the file came from. Bacula expects you to manually move it back in place - and shut down whatever program may need to be shut down. le dahut wrote: > Hello, > > Does bacula manage locks Before/After Backup/Restore ? > > The idea is : > * prevent other programs to run if a backup/restore is in process > * prevent bacula to run backup/restore if another program is running > > the second point could also be : > * make bacula backup/restore wait until another program has released its > lock > > > K.T. > -- Kevin Keane Owner The NetTech Find the Uncommon: Expert Solutions for a Network You Never Have to Think About Office: 866-642-7116 http://www.4nettech.com This e-mail and attachments, if any, may contain confidential and/or proprietary information.
