Re: [Bacula-users] Trouble getting jobs to run simultaneously
You can also set Allow Mixed Priority = yes on all your jobs. From bacula docs: Allow Mixed Priority = yesno This directive is only implemented in version 2.5 and later. When set to yes (default no), this job may run even if lower priority jobs are already running. This means a high priority job will not have to wait for other jobs to finish before starting. The scheduler will only mix priorities when all running jobs have this set to true. Note that only higher priority jobs will start early. Suppose the director will allow two concurrent jobs, and that two jobs with priority 10 are running, with two more in the queue. If a job with priority 5 is added to the queue, it will be run as soon as one of the running jobs finishes. However, new priority 10 jobs will not be run until the priority 5 job has finished. -- Diego P.

Pool { Name = ExtBackup Pool Type = Backup Next Pool = ExtClone } 2.) define a copy job using the above dummy pool and custom sqlquery to select jobid from different pool. Job { Name = "CopyDiskToExtClone" Type = Copy Client = None Level = Full # must be defined, but is ignored FileSet = None# must be defined, but is ignored Pool = ExtBackup Selection Type = SQLQuery Selection Pattern = "SELECT DISTINCT Job.JobId FROM Job,Pool WHERE Pool.Name = 'DiskBackup' AND Pool.PoolId = Job.PoolId AND ..." ... } using this method i was able top copy jobs from pool DiskBackup to pool ExtClone, even though DiskBackup->NextPool = DiskCopy can i expect troubles using this trick?

[Bacula-users] Recycling not respecting Volume Retention
Hello! I've some problems with bacula 5.2.5 (maybe < 5.2.5) Volume Retention It looks bacula is recycling volumes when no one is left, even before volume retention period expires Although bacula purged all jobs and files from volume, it should respect volume retention, don't it? For testing purposes, I've downloaded, compiled and installer bacula 5.2.5, changing only Pool file settings: Volume Use Duration = 1 minute Volume Retention = 1 day and Client bacula-fd: File Retention = 1 minute Job Retention = 1 minute So, I've created 2 volumes, Vol1 and Vol2. Then, I ran a backup job, that was stored at Vol1. 1 minute later, ran another backup, Vol1 was marked as used, files and job at Vol1 was purged, and backup was stored at Vol2. Another minute later I ran another backup. This time, Vol1 was recycled and backup was stored on it. Since Volume Retention was set to 1 day and manual says about Recycling Algorithm: "Prune volumes applying Volume retention period (Volumes with VolStatus Full, Used, or Append are pruned). Note, even if all the File and Job records are pruned from a Volume, ***the Volume will not be marked Purged until the Volume retention period expires***." (http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Automatic_Volume_Recycling.html), Vol1 shouldn't have been recycled... But log shows "There are no more Jobs associated with Volume "Vol1".
