Hello! If you want to run concurrent jobs, you should define the same priority for all of them. From the manual: Bacula concurrently runs jobs of only one priority at a time. It will not simultaneously run a priority 1 and a priority 2 job. Best regards, Ana On Tue, Nov 18, 2014 at 6:39 AM,

Hi Sieu, If you have changed the volume retention for your volumes in the pool configuration, this change only is applied to new volumes created. For the volumes that were already in the catalog, you should run an update volume through bconsole and change this value there too. Since you said

Yes, you are correct. That was exactly what ocurred. If you want a 13 days retention period for your incremental jobs, you will have to configure a Maximum Volumes of 2. Also, you have different retention periods for incremental and full backups (me too). So I would recommend you to have different

Also, I think those Label Format clauses are strange when used with Recycle = yes. The volumes will be labelled forever with the creation date (e.g. monday-2014-11-17), not the recycling date. __Martin On Tue, 18 Nov 2014 13:51:57 -0300, Ana Emília M. Arruda said: Yes, you are correct.
