Re: [Bacula-users] Question about backup window and schedule resource

Hello

I am running happily bacula 5.0.3 for 1 year. Last weekend a full job took too much time, and the rest of backups started too late, on Monday. I have read several time about the schedule resource, but I can not find how to "force" and end time for a job. For example, the full backup of system "development box" should start at 00:01 on Sundays, but it should be cancelled if has not finished at 17:00, ¿how can I accomplish that with Bacula?

You should read up on the MaxRunTime and MaxRunSchedTime directives. They're both directives you can put in a job definition. One limits the time a job can run after it has actually started (so not counting the time it waits for other jobs or tapes to become available). The second gives the max amount of time between the scheduled time of the job and time it had to be cancelled if it's still running.

So in your example case a MaxRunSchedTime = 17h should do the trick.

Jeremy
