Re: [Bacula-users] Change order of when a backup is run

Thank you, Phil and Dimitri! I think Bill's suggestion about AllowMixedPriority will work for me. Dimitri, I run a lot of backups with the same schedule of which I cannot change at the moment. In the beginning it worked out okay, but some long jobs were added on, and since the jobs run alphabeti
