Mandi! Bill Arlofski via Bacula-users In chel di` si favelave... Sorry for the late answer.
In the meantime i've done some other checks, and seems that things are a bit complex then that. For example, another client configured exactly on the same way works as expected; eg, fail incremental if not available: 13-Dec 11:05 lnfbacula-dir JobId 31743: Start Backup JobId 31743, Job=FVG-SV-Hinata.2024-12-13_08.00.00_37 13-Dec 11:05 lnfbacula-dir JobId 31743: Error: bsockcore.c:285 gethostbyname() for host "hinata.dyn.sv.lnf.it" failed: ERR=Name or service not known Job: FVG-SV-Hinata.2024-12-13_08.00.00_37 Client: "fvg-sv-hinata-fd" 7.4.4 (28Sep16) Microsoft Professional (build 9200), 64-bit,Cross-compile,Win64 Pool: "FVG-SV-HinataFilePool" (From Job resource) 13-Dec 11:05 lnfbacula-dir JobId 31743: Rescheduled Job FVG-SV-Hinata.2024-12-13_08.00.00_37 at 13-Dec-2024 11:05 to re-run in 1800 seconds (13-Dec-2024 11:35). 13-Dec 11:05 lnfbacula-dir JobId 31743: Job FVG-SV-Hinata.2024-12-13_08.00.00_37 waiting 1800 seconds for scheduled start time. 13-Dec 11:35 lnfbacula-dir JobId 31743: Start Backup JobId 31743, Job=FVG-SV-Hinata.2024-12-13_08.00.00_37 Job: t connect to Client: fvg-sv-hinata-fd on hinata.dyn.sv.lnf.it:9102.

The script '/etc/bacula/scripts/deleteFailedJobs' simply cleanup failed jobs and volumes, to prevent exausting them.
