Hi Christoph,
I've written my answers in your text...
Dear bacula users,
I currently backup about 15 linux/windows servers to a LTO streamer. For
increased restore speed I want no parallel (interleaving) backups on the
tapes. So I set "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" of the tape storage to 1.
On the other hand, collecting data should happen in parallel on all
clients.
So I set "SpoolData = yes"
=> This should be in the JobDefs or in any Job resource in dir-conf, not in the Director section of fd!
and "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" in the
=> there are 5 different places with different meanings for that directive. See below. See the manual pages listed below.
sections "Director",
=>
"FileDaemon" (in clients bacula-fd.conf) and
"Storage" (bacula-sd.conf) to 20: This has another meaning: It's communication between DIR and FD/SD where every connection, e.g. bconsole is regarded a job!
It's a little bit complicated and I didn't get too much answers, too, when I had problems with it.
What you want to do touches 3 configuration areas:
1. Spooling (There's an own spooling chapter)
2. Concurrent Jobs (Manual 1.38.5 pages 398, 399, 400)
3. Priorities (Manual 1.38.5 pages 134, 135)
For a start, to exclude problems from there, try to set all your jobs to the same priority and control them exclusively by schedules!
I'm not sure wether priorities work properly, because for me they've never done what they should have.
Additional, in the Manual there are often hints in places where you don't expect them....
I expected the clients to spool in parallel but despooling sequential.
But the clients wait for each other doing the backups on after another.
Did I miss something?
