Hello Mahmudul, you could use the "run before / after job" functions to run those commands. In order to start them on client, you can deploy a public key for the user bacula runs as on the client so password-less login will be enabled for that user, then use some form of the ssh client.domain.name '/path/to/yourscript start' or similar to run the script on the client.
