Ok,

So I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish this and I think I have a kink in my think! I've switched to running Accurate Jobs for my backups from GFS. I've created an Accurate pool where my Incrementals are going now and it has a next pool directive to my Data Domain Monthly pool (see the config below). I have about 60 clients and I don't want to configure separate jobs for the VirtualFulls, one because I'm lazy and two, it's not very manageable. Using the schedule option, I can get this working the way I want, however, Concurrent Jobs get in the way! Basically, 8 VirtualFull jobs try to start and they all fight for resources so that none of them complete. If the schedule stanza could accept "Concurrent Jobs" then that would be ok, but it doesn't fit in the "Job" section. Setting the concurrent jobs to 1 would make virtual fulls work fine, but standard backups will go from 1-2 hours to 5-6 hours which is not acceptable.

Schedule {
  Name = "AccurateJobs"
  Run = Level=Incremental Pool=DD-Accurate at 20:04
  Run = Level=VirtualFull Pool=DD-Accurate 2nd fri at 16:00
}

Storage {
  Name = DD-Accurate
  Address = my.sd.com
  Password = "password"
  Media Type = DD-Accurate
  Device = DD-Accurate
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 8
}

Storage {
  Name = DD-Monthly
  Address = my.sd.com
  Password = "password"
  Media Type = DD-Month
  Device = DD-Monthly
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 8
}

Pool {
  Name = DD-Accurate
  Pool Type = Backup
  LabelFormat = "Accurate-"
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Storage = DD-Accurate
  Volume Retention = 4 month
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 100G
  Next Pool = DD-Monthly
  RecyclePool = DD-Accurate
  Action On Purge = Truncate
}

Pool {
  Name = DD-Monthly
  Pool Type = Backup
  LabelFormat = "Monthly-"
  Recycle = yes
  AutoPrune = yes
  Storage = DD-Monthly
  Volume Retention = 6 month
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 200G
  Next Pool = Monthly
  Migration Time = 5 month
  RecyclePool = DD-Monthly
  Action On Purge = Truncate
}
