for me. I will try and implement the same.
Thanks

I was trying to restrict backuppc to start / backup 2 hosts while 1

semaphore" and the idea that it can be implemented using the
DumpPreUserCmd and DumpPostUserCmd. Can anyone please help on how
this can actually be implemented.
Basically these hosts are different drives on the same machine and i
don't want 2 drives to be backed up at the same time. (trying to
setup and use volume shadow hence need to backup a single drive at a
time).
