[Bacula-users] Calling a restore job during a backup job.

I’m trying to build out some automation for testing restores. I’m currently creating a new file on each client prior to the backup job. The file includes the servers hostname and date. At the end of the backup job I’m running a restore job that will restore that specific file and verify the contents are what is to be expected. I see this as an improvement over a Verify job since the verify job doesn’t actually restore any files from media.

I’m running into a problem where the restore job does not run, due waiting on completion from the backup job. I’m getting the error “is waiting on max Client jobs”. In all places I can think, I’ve set ‘Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20’, but I must be missing one some place.

Is doing something like this even possible?

Here’s the config that I’m working with.

JobDefs {

Name = DEF_<hostname>-bkup01

Type = Backup

Client = <hostname>-bkup01-fd

FileSet = FileSet_<hostname>-bkup01

Messages = Standard

Priority = 10

Schedule = "Sched_PROD_Util"

Full Backup Pool = POOL_<hostname>-bkup01_FULL

Differential Backup Pool = POOL_<hostname>-bkup01_DIFF

Incremental Backup Pool = POOL_<hostname>-bkup01_INCR

RunScript {

RunsWhen = Before

Runs On Client = Yes

Command = "/bin/sh -c \"/bin/echo \`/bin/hostname\` > /usr/local/bacula/working/restore_file\""

Command = "/bin/sh -c \"/bin/echo \`/bin/date +%%F`\ >> /usr/local/bacula/working/restore_file\""

}

RunScript {

RunsWhen = After

RunsOnFailure = No

Fail Job On Error = yes

Command = "/usr/local/bacula/scripts/restore_test.pl <hostname>-bkup01"

}

=========DIR Status===================

593 Increme <hostname>-bkup01.2012-04-04_09.30.51_05 is running

594 RestoreFiles.2012-04-04_09.30.56_07 is waiting on max Client jobs

Thanks.
