Here is an example of our jobs right now: 

1946 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.16_38 is waiting on max Storage jobs 
1985 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.21_17 is running 
1986 Full Copia-serverA.2011-02-23_10.52.21_18 is running 
1987 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.21_19 is waiting on max Storage jobs 
1988 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.21_20 is waiting on max Storage jobs 
1989 Full Copia-serverB.2011-02-23_10.52.21_21 is waiting execution 
1990 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.21_22 is waiting on max Storage jobs 
1991 Full Copia-serverC.2011-02-23_10.52.21_23 is waiting execution 
1992 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.21_24 is waiting on max Storage jobs 
1993 Full Copia-serverD.2011-02-23_10.52.21_25 is waiting execution 
1994 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.21_26 is waiting on max Storage jobs 
1995 Full Copia-serverE.2011-02-23_10.52.21_27 is waiting execution 
1996 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.21_28 is waiting on max Storage jobs 
1997 Full Copia-serverF.2011-02-23_10.52.21_29 is waiting execution 
1998 Full D2D2T-Diff.2011-02-23_10.52.21_30 is waiting on max Storage jobs 
1999 Full Copia-serverG.2011-02-23_10.52.21_31 is waiting execution 
2000 Full Copia-serverH.2011-02-23_10.52.21_32 is waiting execution 
2003 RestoreFiles.2011-02-23_15.41.37_44 is waiting for higher priority jobs to 
finish 
2004 Full Copia-serverG-test.2011-02-23_15.47.54_47 is waiting for higher 
priority jobs to finish 

where all the Coppy jobs have priority 20, the 2003 job has priority 10 and the 
2004 job has priority 6 


job 1999 and 2004 use the same storage device, but 1999 ist not running, it's 
waiting on execution. 

The jobs 1946 upto 2000 are using the tape device as one of their used devices, 
so I understand that they are all running one after another. 

But the jobs 2004 and 2003, or at least the job 2003 should be able to run 
concurrently to the copy jobs as they have a different storage device, 

or am I missing something? 

thank you, 
best regards

Subject: [Bacula-users] Concurrent Client Backups and Restores 



Hello, 

I have a question regarding restores of files. I have currently 6 concurrent 
jobs configured to backup to disk. After all my these backups are finished, I 
use a Copy job to copy these Backups on Disk to Tape. 

This works very well so far, the only problem I have are with restore jobs. 

1. it's completely irrelevant which priority I set for the restore job, it 
always says: Waiting for higher priority jobs to finish. 
2. I can do concurrent backups, why can't I do a restore as well while a backup 
is running (whilest backup up a different volume, of course)? 
3. Even when the copy job transfers copys from disk to tap (again, when, 
currently using a different volume) I can not restore from a disk volume. 

I hope something is wrong in my configuration, because we have lot's of 
developers and at least once or twice a week we have to restore something for 
them. (Please don't tell me about version control systems, etc., there are 
policys in place and they are using windows tools and I am not in any position 
to change any of that). 

I do not see the point why I should be able to do concurrent backups, but not a 
restore while the backups are running as well, as long as I am using a 
different volume and device. 

My configuration: 

Each client has it's own device in the Storage daemon. 
Each client has it's own directory on disc where the Incrementals and 
Fullbackups are saved 
We have one SCSI Tape device which is responsible for copying the backup jobs 
to tape 

Is there any other way to create restores? Like, starting another file-daemon 
on another ip/port on the same machine? 

best regards 
Ray
