Hi Guys,
For some time, I've been trying to get concurrent jobs in bacula to work.
For doing so, I've created a pool for each client, and made sure all
parts of the setup have got the max concurrent jobs = 1 .
Please allow me to elaborate about my configuration:
This is part of my bacula-dir (well, this is a file for a client 'www',
and it's being included in bacula-dir, along with some exactly the same
files except for passwords/hostnames):
JobDefs {
Name = www-weekly
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Client = www
FileSet = Full Set
Schedule = WeeklyCycle
Storage = leiden-filestorage
Messages = Standard
Pool = wwwPool
Priority = 10
}
Job {
Name = wwwjob
JobDefs = www-weekly
Write Bootstrap = /var/lib/bacula/www.bsr
}
Client {
Name = www
Address = www.KNIP
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = KNIP # password for FileDaemon
File Retention = 30 days# 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months# six months
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired Jobs/Files
}
Pool {
Name = wwwPool
LabelFormat = wwwVol
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically
recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Volume Use Duration = 23h
}
As you can see, I've removed some sensitive information. A clone of this
config is also used for 'mail', and some more machines. Each has it's
own pool (because of concurrency).
Well the bacula-sd.conf:
Storage { # definition of myself
Name = leiden-filestorage
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 50
SDAddresses = {
ip = { addr = 192.168.1.44; port = 9103 }
ip = { addr = 127.0.0.1; port =9103 }
}
}
Director {
Name = leiden-dir
Password = *
}
Director {
Name = leiden-mon
Password = *
Monitor = yes
}
Device {
Name = leiden-filestorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /bacula
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
}
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = leiden-dir = all
}
Pretty standard, should I change something in here?
And my bacula-fd.conf:
Director {
Name = leiden-dir
Password = *
}
Director {
Name = www.*-mon
Password = *
Monitor = yes
}
FileDaemon { # this is me
Name = www.*-fd
FDport = 9102 # where we listen for the director
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula
HeartBeat Interval = 15
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
FDAddress = *
}
Messages {
Name = Standard
director = www.*-dir = all, !skipped, !restored
}
Also quite boring.
Can someone please explain to me why bacula still is not able to run
concurrent Jobs? Do I have to create a storage for each client (for
instance)? And what's the reason for having to do so?
Furthermore, I've enabled the compression on some clients, but
nevertheless the system's performance isn't very good. It tends to
stagger at about 1800kb/s , but both ends of the line are 100mbit... and
almost not being used at all.
The director and sd are on the same machine, attached to a NAS (which
performs fine by itself), and the machine has a dual-core Atom CPU
running debian and 2gb of RAM. It also has no other jobs except for
Nagios (which is not very heavily loaded).
Cheers,
Boudewijn Ector
