Bacula-users, This may be discussed somewhere, but I couldn't find it:
I have 2 backup devices on my system. I'm only backing up the local server with bacula. I've defined several backup jobs for the server, because I don't want one giant full backup, but rather several smaller fulls to run at various times (weekends) over a month, with daily incrementals. Particularly for the incremental jobs, I'd like to use both backup devices in parallel, but have queued jobs stacked that run sequentially when the selected tape device becomes free. At setup, I have limited the director to only run one job and to my delight, I can submit multiple jobs and they sit there queued and run as soon as the previous job finishes. So I guess my question is: if I enable 2 simultaneous jobs and my scheduler queues the (incremental) jobs like this: job1 - device 1 job2 - device 1 job3 - device 2 job4 - device 1 job5 - device 2 job6 - device 2 as the top 2 jobs to run both want device 1, will it make the 2nd job wait and start the 3rd job on device 2 - and then job2 will run when job2 finishes ? And is there any problem that the client for both jobs is running on the same machine ? I can't imagine that would be a problem, but I thought I'd ask. Thanks for any help.
