Radoslaw,

Bacula keeps sending me emails “waiting to reserve a device” every 2 minutes 
which is annoying. Is there a way to turn off Bacula from sending emails only 
in this case?

It depends if you wish to limit the number of emails received or totally 
disable this kind of messages.
If you want to disable this kind of messages then you can limit it on your 
Messages resource definition, AFAIR. You should check message category in 
documentation and disable it.

best regards

I have three Tape drives in the Tape Library. Say for example if two of the 
tape drives are busy running two different jobs from Pool A & B.  If two more 
jobs are waiting to start from Pool C & D

First of all when designing a tape backup in Bacula you should consider 
lowering the number of defined Pools to the lowest acceptable level. This helps 
avoid resource shortage during the backup window. This is my recommendation 
based on multiple deployment experience.

since only one Tape Drive is available the job from Pool C runs and the job 
from Pool D is still waiting for the Tape Drive and complains “ waiting to 
reserve a device” through email until a Tape drive become available to run the 
job.

I can fully understand that it complains about it as it cannot reserve the 
drive and has to wait. Could you explain what is your expected behavior in this 
case?

Thanks

Radosław,

Sorry I made a mistake in my earlier email. We recently upgraded to version 
9.4.4 not 7.4.4.

I was trying to find out if I can disable bacula from sending those messages?

I do not understand. How many (annoying) messages about device reservation you 
get on your single job? And how many you want to get?

best regards

Hi,

After I upgraded to bacula-7.4.4


AFAR, there was a bug which keeps sending those annoying messages forever or 
until reservation resolves.
You should upgrade to 9.4.x or newer (9.6 will be released soon I hope).

best regards

[Bacula-users] Bacula - waiting to reserve a device

[Rao, Uthra R. (GSFC-672.0)[ADNET SYSTEMS INC] via Bacula-users]

Hi,

After I upgraded to bacula-7.4.4 I am getting the following message from Bacula 
when a job is waiting in the queue for the tape drive to become available to 
mount the tape from a different pool needed for this job to run:

"waiting to reserve a device"

Example:
I have 3 tape drives (1,2, &3)
Tape drive 1 and 2 are running FULL backups using tapes from pool "server-full"
Tape 3 is running Incremental backups using tapes from pool "server-partial"

Now there are desktop backup jobs waiting in the queue because it needs a tape 
from "desktop-pool"

I find that until one of the three tape drives become available for the tape 
from desktop-pool to mount I keep getting emails from bacula saying ""waiting 
to reserve a device".
How can I disable this annoying messages? Please let me know.

In the bacula-sd.conf I have

Storage {
.
.
.
.
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
  }

Thank you.
UR.

Thank you all for your response to my question. So, it looks like there is no 
easy way one can set-up bacula to backup simultaneously to the tape and to the 
cloud.

Hello,

IMHO, I’m not sure you can perform simultaneous backup jobs to both tape and S3 
(please let me know if I’m wrong).

I’d suggest maybe to use copy jobs like this

1. Backup to tapes
2. Copy job to S3 bucket based on previous backup on tapes.

I don’t have huge experience with copy jobs, hopefully someone reading this can 
give more hints.

Best,

Davide
