I wouldn't not use that but have a look at our extensive docs their are
two ways to accomplish this. e.g. use the -b option which means backup only
(there is also the -r option for restore only). Or use the more generic 
AllowedJobCommand
see https://www.bareos.org/en/HOWTO/articles/new-in-version-1320.html security 
enhancement
which exactly is ment for these kind of cases. As I have been a senior 
consultant in most
major companies over the last 20 years I know this requirement that is why we 
early in
development added something generic. e.g. running scripts via any backup or 
monitoring tool
is also something security audits are not to forgiven about.

Correct by default it uses timestamps and other OS specific things. To have full
control over this you want to use accurate.
