Hello

I didn't get any replies last time I asked this so I thought I might rephrase
it.   I'd like to be able to cause jobs to not become active but still be
queued.   The idea being that I can put a hold while I do some maintenance or
wait for whatever is still active to finish so that I can then do some
maintenance and still have everything in the queue ready to run when I turn it
back over to production.

So far, the only thing I can think of is to deactivate all the pertinent classes
and reactivate them after I'm done with maintenance but I don't know if that
will keep user directed backups in the queue.

This is important because we've already had situations where during maintenance,
people have took it upon themselves to rearrange the tapes in the library for
esthetics sake.   Although the tape library does rescan the barcodes when the
door is closed, the Netbackup media database is not automatically synchronized
with the tape library's own database.   If new tapes have been added in slots
where Netbackup thinks another tape should be, the new tape will get the wrong
label and some images intended for another tape before the databases are
synchronized resulting in a frozen tape after the next synchronization.
Although this tends to happen when I'm out of town, I'd like to be able to
insist on a procedure that prevents jobs from being active till the databases
are synchronized.
