Hi Dan,

I'm not up to date on this point, but IIRC there had been some
discussion on whether to continue providing the Python API in Bacula,
due to lack of maintainership a while ago. It might not be wise to rely
on Python in Bacula for your project.

If you intened to schedule a separate Verify Job after the Backup job,
why not simply schedule a Restore job after that as well ? This third
job would make use of the RunAfterJob directive, and whichever
additional data integrity/usability tests you wish to run could then be
implemented in the scripting language you prefer.

Best,
