Hello,
With Bacula 3.0.3, if I set "Reschedule On Error" to YES then every job
rescheduled this way uses up one "concurrent job": it becomes listed in
Running Jobs with status "... is waiting for its start time".
So when the Director's "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" is set to 5 (default)
then if 5 jobs have been rescheduled then no more will be started (even
if they could be started -- no errors expected). Backup becomes blocked
effectively.
I believe it is a bug or misbehaviour. I am not sure but I don't
remember such problems with 2.4.
Suggestion: do not count "jobs 'running' with such a status" in the
Maximum Concurrent Jobs limit.

P.S. Background: I use "reschedule on error" to attempt to backup our
laptops. As laptops might be present or absent at a given time, the idea
was to try everyone at 10:00, if it fails then 3 hours later (13:00)
then again 3 hours later (16:00) and again (19:00) -- it would
reasonably cover working hours. Maybe there is a better way to set up
backup of laptops?
