I wrote some code to issue the stops for me, but the stop command is not behaving as I expected.  Here is an example:

list files jobid=2
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
+----------+
| Filename |
+----------+
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/ReadMe.txt |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/copyright |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/ |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/inc/ |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/docs/ |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64/C/icc/osslib/ |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64/C/icc/osslib/libcryptoIBM080.so.0.9.8 |


I was expecting that after issuing a stop command.  these files would not be backed up in the next attempt, but they are:

list files jobid=7
Automatically selected Catalog: MyCatalog
Using Catalog "MyCatalog"
+----------+
| Filename |
+----------+
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/ReadMe.txt |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/copyright |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/ |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/inc/ |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/docs/ |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64/C/icc/osslib/ |
| /usr/local/ibm/gsk8_64/lib64/C/icc/osslib/libcryptoIBM080.so.0.9.8 |

Am I missing something?
Hello, Dan: please consider using the resume command => http://bacula.us/bacula-7-4-job-stop-resume-new-feature/

Hello, Daniel,

Since stop is a new command I don't think there is a "Max Run Time" that stops job instead of canceling, yet. Probably soon.
Maybe you can use shell scripting and cron as a workaround, though. Or some tuning in order to backups don't blow your backup window.

Anyone have information on this, it should be fairly simple.

Just trying to bulletproof my backup here.  Is there a way to set it so that if a backup ceases due to "Max Run Time" that the backup will end with a stop and not a cancel?  Using 7.4 bacula now.

I am trying to back up a large disk that is greater than the size of the disk that I save my data to (eventually it gets migrated to tape).
The issue is that I have it run for 16 hours at max, but when those 16 hours end, it marks the jobs canceled by user, and I cannot migrate it to tape.  Also when I run the job again, it starts over from scratch instead of continuing from where it left off.  Is there a way to change this?  I have a feeling that if I removed the time limit, I would hit the same problem when the disk fills.
Hello, Daniel: canceled jobs cannot be resumed, but you could do that if you use the new 7.4 stop command. Another thing is you can create more than one Job for this same machine with different FileSet and different folders, in order to split the backup workload / migration process.
But since you are short on disk storage you might consider using Disk Spooling instead of backing up to disk and migrate, or even directly to tape.

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
