Thanks for digging this out of the sources, I don't know Bacula well enough
to have done that. It seems a wierd choice to hardcode that. I compiled
from source as it's on Raspian64 so I could patch and rebuild as you
suggest. There may be more to it than the files you found. Not sure about
the cron trick as it would be asynchronous to backups possibly creating
races.
Do you think this qualifies as a bug or just an annoyance? Probably the
latter as it doesn't affect as designed functionality.
