I have a unique requirement and I'm not sure if Bacula can do this.  Here goes:

I presently have 12  servers ( mixture of Windows and Linux)  in my  backup 
rotation.  I plan to add a couple more clients soon. From Monday  to  Thursday, 
I do incremental backups to disk.  On Friday a full weekly backup is started. 
This full backup is also written to disk.  The full backup normally completes 
some time on Sunday evening.  The end time varies depending on the amount data 
that is being backed up.   On Sunday, I also have scheduled Copy job that 
archives the resent full backup to tape for offsite storage.  The Copy Job 
takes 48-68 hours to complete.  Our offsite storage provider picks up the tapes 
on Wednesday mornings.

My problem is that sometimes the Copy-to-Tape job (D2T) starts BEFORE the  Full 
backup (D2D)  has completed.  When this happens, I have to intervene and change 
the Copy Job schedule to later time to ensure that all the jobs in the full 
backup are captured. Instead of fiddling with the schedule settings to find the 
ideal time, I would like a flexible ( or scriptable??)  scheduling  option  
would start the Copy Job ONLY after the weekly full backup has completed.   In 
so doing,  I don't have to spend my Sunday evenings monitoring backup jobs.


Any suggestion?


Thanks.
