Yes, but that is a different wait state. Bacula logs a "Scheduled time" and a "Start time" for each job, so there is clearly a specific state change that happens only once at the start time, which is after waiting for the priority. For a normal backup, this state change includes connecting to the SD and FD for example. __Martin _______________________________________________ Bacula-devel mailing list Bacula-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-devel
