1. The scheduling is different. In Bacula you cannot schedule on the
last workday of a month or week because Bacula doesn't know of workdays
and holidays. The internal scheduling mechanism does also not know of
exceptions. At least at my site there are some days where no operator is
here to change tapes and where no backup should take place (because the
data is not altered much anyway on these days).


Because of long weekends and other events, it's safest to try and schedule for tape changes on Tues/Weds/Thurs, rather than trying to do them on Monday or Friday.

This alleviates the issues of "first/last workday in month" a little without Bacula having to be aware of local vacations.
