Re: [Bacula-users] New to Bacula: Restore Job Question
Hello Chaz, AllowMixedPriority=yes is necessary if you want to higher priority jobs to start when lower priority jobs are already running. Of course, you need to have enough Storage Daemon Devices to ensure you can access the different required volumes.

Hello, Sorry, I completely misunderstood your problem. Perhaps someone on the list can give you some help.

I have read through the restore chapter of the manual and used the restore command from bconsole, sorry I should have clarified. So I’m just wondering if there was a free drive for the restore shouldn’t the job start using it? Or am I missing something? The submitted restore job was waiting on a high priority process to finish but because a restore job is priority 1 I expected it to utilise the free drive. Thanks so much for the help.

It is also possible to do graphical restores with bat or with Baculum (web GUI). The restore command in bconsole will prompt you for everything you need, but choosing files to restore is a bit more complicated, so I recommend reading the Restore chapter of the manual.
