Hi Spadajspadaj,
maybe a hacky solution, but would work: only start the fd on the laptop,
when you want to run a backup? (Or auto-start it, when the laptop is up
for >2h and no video conference software was started, etc.?)
regards,
Erich

Hello there.
I'm wondering if there is any less-intrusive option for backing up
"interminnently connected" hosts (like my wife's laptop :-)).
At first I had a static schedule which would backup the client every day at
9am or so.
That of course would make backups skipped if the laptop was not on at that
precise time so I had to monitor that externally and sometimes spawn backup
jobs manually. That was annoying.
Then I found the "Run On Incoming Connect Interval" option which made my life
much easier. Now if the "normal" backup job is skipped, the backup gets
spawned as soon as my wife boots up the laptop. That makes it relatively well
covered in terms of backup.
But it also makes the laptop unuseable (especialy in terms of videoconference
solutions or other low-latency uses) for the first half hour or so after each
bootup.
So the question is - is there any reasonable way to make the backups more
client-controlled? So the backup job is not spawn immediately after the
connection from fd to dir, but can be delayed by user or spawned directly by
user when desired?
I probably could set up the bareos webui but could I limit my wife's
permissions to just that single client? It would still not be a very elegant
solution (the necessity to log in to "external" service is not very
user-friendly) but it would be something.
Any other paths to explore?
I'm at 20.0.1 at the moment.
