Hi Rob, Martin, Well I too thought of this solution, namely, loosely synchronizing the job schedule time and a cron job on the client; as a workaround.
Thanks anyways, Regards, Yateen From: Rob Gerber <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2025 11:36 PM To: Martin Simmons <[email protected]> Cc: Yateen Shaligram Bhagat (Nokia) <[email protected]>; bacula-users <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Timeout setting for ClientRunBeforeJob CAUTION: This is an external email. Please be very careful when clicking links or opening attachments. See the URL nok.it/ext for additional information. You might also want to have the job delete the results file in a "ClientRunAfterJob" script, to prevent any case where the cron job breaks and the Bacula job just backs up the old list over and over again.
