Hello, I have about 20 clients backing up to disk (all 1.38.11) and I'd like to run at least a few of them simultaneously but can't get it working. The manual mentions Maximum Concurrent Jobs all over the place and nowhere does it explain well how to get this to work. The best place I found was in the "Configuring the Director" page within the Job resource section (search for "distinct" on that page).
I think I understand what I need to do, but I don't understand why. I currently have Maximum Concurrent Jobs set to 5 in my bacula-dir.conf (director and storage resources) and in bacula-sd.conf (storage resource). This seems, to me, to be all I should need to do in order to get this to work. According to the manual, the storage resource in bacula-sd.conf defaults to 10 so I shouldn't even need to set that. According to the Job section mentioned above, I also need to set it in my director's client and job resources (which for me are in separate, included files). I don't understand why this is necessary. I don't want "Job A" to run multiple times, nor do I want "Client A" to run multiple jobs... I want "Client A" to run "Job A" and "Client B" to run "Job B" at the same time, do I need to set concurrency in my clients and jobs in order to do this? If so, that doesn't make any sense to me; why is that the case? The error I get is something like, "trying to write to volume daily-0002 but storage is currently writing to daily=0001".
