Might be just as easy to create a job of type "Admin" that starts before your
Backup job and with a higher priority that just Waes all of your machines in a
Runbefore Job.

Admin type jobs have no Client. Here's an example that I use:

Job {
  Name = UpdateSlots
  JobDefs = Defaults
  Client = None
  Type = Admin
  FileSet = None
  Priority = 8

  RunScript {
    RunsWhen = Before
    RunsOnClient = no
    Fail Job On Error = no
    Command = "/etc/bacula/include/scripts/auto_enable_disable_vols.sh"
    Command = "/etc/bacula/include/scripts/runbefore-updateslots.sh"
  }
}


Hope this helps.
