[Bacula-users] Maximum Concurrent Jobs: sometimes only one job running
Hi I have configured my system to run 5 jobs at the same time. It works well with the the first 5 jobs but then it is a bit on and off. At the gant chart below show the 5 jobs starting a Full backup 1st november 22:05. Client asrv0 runs for 6 hours 11 minutes but in the time between bsrv2 ends and bsrv5 starts only one job is running. I did expect to always see at least 5 '#' marks vertically. It seems like the director starts 5 jobs and when all of them are done, it starts the 5 next jobs. I expected that as long as the 'Priority' of all the jobs are the same then a new job would be started when one is done. 1 asrv0 01 22:05 # asrv0 06:11 2 bsrv1 01 22:05 # bsrv1 00:00 3 bsrv2 01 22:05 ### bsrv2 03:04 4 asrv3 01 22:14 ### asrv3 01:25 5 bsrv4 01 22:14 # bsrv4 02:27 6 bsrv5 02 03:49 ---## bsrv5 00:38 7 bsrv6 02 03:51 --- bsrv6 01:32 8 bsrv7 02 04:09 ### bsrv7 03:09 9 bsrv8 02 04:18 bsrv8 01:53 10 tsrv9 02 04:30 -## tsrv9 06:32 11 csrv10 02 07:08 --# csrv10 00:01 12 csrv11 02 07:08 --# csrv11 00:13 13 csrv12 02 07:11 -- csrv12 01:42 14 dsrv13 02 07:21 --# dsrv13 02:28 15 csrv14 02 07:34 --- csrv14 05:57 16 dsrv15 02 13:18 --### Bacula version 5.0.2 Any help much appreciated.

Re: [Bacula-users] Maximum Concurrent Jobs: sometimes only one job running
What is a File tape? Best regards, Kern PS: Please note that Console connections are treated internally by Bacula as a job, and there are something like 6 or 7 different places where concurrent jobs can be set.

Ahh, I think you pushed me in the right direction. I think the problem is the Spool Size. My spool size is set to 50G but the actual server which runs alone has 120G of data. I will try to set the spool size to more than the amount of data the biggest client will send and then I guess it is solved. -- Venlig hilsen Hans Schou tel:46923438 -- November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.

Re: [Bacula-users] Maximum Concurrent Jobs: sometimes only one job running
Do you use File tapes ? Yes I use Media Type = File 'Media Type' is one of the gotchas of bacula. You think you should be describing the type of media you're saving to, but in fact the Media Type for each storage definition should be unique. From the docs: Media type names are arbitrary in that you set them to anything you want, but they must be known to the volume database to keep track of which storage daemons can read which volumes. In general, each different storage type should have a unique Media Type associated with it. I use a name that’s descriptive of the storage device. Like: FilesOn8TBRaid, FilesOn4TBDrive, etc. -- November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
