Thanks for the tips Dan and Karl.
One more question:
[snip]
#Run this script to do a FULL Backup
./bconsole -c ./bconsole.conf << END_OF_COMMANDS
@# This assumes the jobs have been defined as full backups.
@# Discard prior messages. They have been logged anyway
@output /dev/null
messages
What are the @ symbols for in the script example? I was under the
impression that @ was used for computations?
They are commands to the bacula console program, the script sends
/everything/ from the line after << END_OF_COMMANDS, until a line that
contains 'END_OF_COMMANDS' on it's own, this is called a 'here document'
More info on the @ commands here:-

and here documents, erm, here. :) :-
