[Bacula-users] Concurrent Jobs
2014-10-22 12:41:38
Here is my scenario. I backup the clients to a disk-based storage
device. Then later that evening I have a COPY job that kicks off to
copy them to tape (LTO-5). I've set things up to run concurrent
jobs with spooling. The disk-based backups seem to run concurrent,
but the disk2tape copy jobs do not. I have MAXIMUM CONCURRENT JOBS
set to 5 in my JOBDEFS for the jobs, and storage devices (disk and
tape).
Am I leaving something out?

Thanks. I was considering using the PSEUDO JOB concept since
there is a bacula-fd on the storage server. However, I was
wondering if I need to issue a RELEASE command to the DIRECTOR
before rewinding and ejecting the tape. When everything was on
one system I essentially did a RELEASE, followed by a tape
rewind and then eject.
Yes, but that should be run on the DIR machine using a console
command.
RunScript {
RunsWhen = before
RunsOnClient = No
console = "release storage=Whatever"
}
A RELEASE command does not necessarily close the device though. If
the mt command blocks, then the UMOUNT command should be used
instead of RELEASE. I'm not sure what the exact criteria is for
when RELEASE can be used instead of UMOUNT.

Ana and Steven,
If you have a bacula-fd installed on the storage
machine you can always use:
ClientRunBeforeJob = "mt -f /dev/st0 eject"
Unless it has changed, a Type=Admin job cannot execute scripts
on the client machine. To run a script on a client as a
"psuedo" admin job, define a second Type=Backup job for the SD
that selects no files to backup and add the ClientRunAfterJob
script to that job, scheduling/prioritizing the "psuedo" admin
job to be the last job to run.
I also suggest redirecting stdXXX for the mt command and
running it in the background.
RunScript {
RunsWhen = After
RunsOnClient = Yes
Command = "/usr/local/bin/bacula-eject.sh"
}
#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/bin/my-eject.sh on the SD machine
mt -f /dev/st0 eject >/var/log/bacula/eject.log 2>&1
< /dev/null &
# eof
