Use a batch file and schedule that. :) @echo off del /place/you/sync/to/done.txt robocopy/rsync files (whatever) echo > /place/you/sync/to/done.txt Schedule the batch file for say 11:00pm At some reasonable time schedule a bash script in Linux via cron: #!/bin/bash while test ! -e done.txt; do sleep 1m done tar -czf /dev/tape /sync/path Simple. :) The above script will wait until done.txt exists and then backs up the repository. If you're really lucky Bacula has a post backup script that can be run. I'm rather traditional and use tar. :) Shawn
