My problem is that when, for a random reason, SD cannot mount the backup 
device, backup still occurs.

DIR, SD and FD are on a different machine. One or more firewall(s) may 
be installed between each daemon, therefore using only Bacula network 
communication system is mandatory (no SSH or else).


Backup device is an SMB/CIFS share or an external USB drive.

Command :
  /sbin/baculamount.py --mount
mounts the support, if mount succeeds it exits with 0, if mount 
encounters an error, it exits with 1.


The goal is to use Bacula with its own functionalities/tools, eventually 
contribute by testing and fixing bugs like this (I've already 
contributed to ACLs management some years ago, it's in the list 
archives). But I would like to avoid making workarounds.
