We back up about 200 workstation clients currently backing up, I would say out of that; 80 of them are laptops. I found that rescheduling the backup on failure seems to work with a 10 hour window. This is added to a JobDefs as such: This way, when a user comes in later on in the day and missed their first backup, if they are online on the next 'reschedule', the backup will kick off and life will go on as normal. I also have the priority levels of laptops set higher on the foodchain than desktops. So that laptop clients are backed up before desktop clients (users can leave their desktops on at night).
Reschedule On Error = yes Reschedule Interval = 1 hours Reschedule Times = 10 Hope this helps! ~Jayson On Fri, 2010-04-02 at 11:15 -0600, Avarca, Anthony wrote: > All, > > > I'm using bacula to backup desktop and laptop clients.
