I have four hosts with identical configuration, as far as I know. All of them have:
$Conf{MaxBackupPCNightlyJobs} = 8; On one, and only one as far as I can tell, running: sudo -u backuppc BackupPC_serverMesg BackupPC_nightly run results in: $ ps -aef | grep -i nigh backuppc 6375 2788 0 11:39 ? 00:00:12 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly -m 0 31 On all three others, I get: $ ps -aef | grep -i nigh backuppc 30013 2856 1 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly -m 0 31 backuppc 30014 2856 0 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly 32 63 backuppc 30015 2856 1 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly 64 95 backuppc 30016 2856 1 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly 96 127 backuppc 30017 2856 0 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly 128 159 backuppc 30018 2856 1 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly 160 191 backuppc 30019 2856 0 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly 192 223 backuppc 30020 2856 1 12:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/BackupPC_nightly 224 255 when I do that. I have run the admin reload. I have my config in an unusual place, but AFAICT that's handled: /usr/local/lib/BackupPC/Lib.pm: ConfDir => $confDir eq "" ? '/engineyard/etc/backuppc' : $confDir, All of them are running: # Version 3.2.0beta1, released 24 Jan 2010.
