Hello Ben,
of course it is possible.
One option is to use "reschedule jobs" which allows you to reschedule a job if
it fails. This way
you could try to backup the job multiple times a day.
See Reschedule Interval, Reschedule On Error and Reschedule Times in the bareos
documentation.
This would just retry, but not really do trigger the backup when the laptop is
available.
If you want to trigger the backup when your laptop is available, you could
create a script
that checks if your laptop is there and only then trigger the backup, and run
that regularly via
cron on the backup server.
A quick and dirty hack could be something like ( if your client is named
"client-fd" and the
corresponding job "client"):
echo "status client=client-fd" | bconsole | grep "Running Jobs:" \
&& echo "run job=client yes" | bconsole
This will run the "status client" command for your file daemon on your laptop,
and execute the
job if it is available (e.g returns the status which contains "Running Jobs:"
Of course this script might need some enhancement to make sure the job is not
started multiple times
a day and so on.
You might want to set the parameters for "Maximum Full Interval".
Best regards,
Philipp
