I'm using a small script that runs ping every 10min from the Director to see
if the laptop is connected,
and when I get an answer, I start a backup with a bconsole command. Once
it's done, I
wait for something like 6 hours and I restart the detection part.

Simple and very flexible.

Bye

PS: Is Bacula used at your work? Then, can you fill a testimonial on
