Re: [Bacula-users] handling of 'error' jobs
Juergen, I think is this you might want to use: *"Reschedule On Error = yesno*If this directive is enabled, and the job terminates in error, the job will be rescheduled as determined by the *Reschedule Interval* and *Reschedule Times* directives. If you cancel the job, it will not be rescheduled. The default is *no* (i.e. the job will not be rescheduled). This specification can be useful for portables, laptops, or other machines that are not always connected to the network or switched on. *Reschedule Interval = time-specification*If you have specified *Reschedule On Error = yes* and the job terminates in error, it will be rescheduled after the interval of time specified by *time-specification*. See the time specification formatsTime in the Configure chapter for details of time specifications. If no interval is specified, the job will not be rescheduled on error. *Reschedule Times = count*This directive specifies the maximum number of times to reschedule the job. If it is set to zero (the default) the job will be rescheduled an indefinite number of times." Source: http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Configuring_Director.html Cheers!
