It works here flawlessly. Make sure you enable concurrent jobs in:
1-. bacula-dir.conf Director { # define myself ........... Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 15 } Storage { ........... Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } 2-. bacula-sd.conf Storage { # definition of myself ........... Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 } and don't forget Job { ............. SpoolData = yes } in the job definitions. > If so I'll send out more details of my config to see if anyone can point > out what I'm doing wrong. > > Thanks, > Sean > ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
