A good idea is to have a dedicated network only for servers. For example, i've 
two networks in my work: one for users and other only for servers, then i can 
run a full backup between servers using about 500Mbits of bandwidth, and users 
don't notice anything.

All full backups are in the same day?, because another option is distribute 
full backups along week days (or month days), and the rest of backups 
Differentials and Incrementals.

(sorry for my english)

Greetings!!

John, yes, most of the jobs start at the same time. But they join the queue 
because of max concurrent jobs setting. So they are not running at the same 
time. My bandwidth issue is not related to this, i think i explained it wrong. 
My bacula storage is in my office so in workhours it shouldn't consume my 
bandwidth.

Are you starting all your jobs at the same time?  Wondering if your having 
issues with all of your jobs competing for bandwidth and slowing down.  
Thinking a staggered start might help you.

Hi everyone,

I'm using Bacula 7.0 to backup a pack of servers. My schedules are all starts 
in evening time. My problem is: some days jobs take longer so some of them 
arent finished by morning and workhours bandwidth is a problem for me.

I searched "max bandwidth" but it doesnt fit because i don't want to limit 
bandwidth in evenings, just in workhours, but i cant seperate it in job 
definition.

Then I came across "Max Start Delay" and "Max Run Sched Time" and they don't 
fit either because i want to let the jobs run for example in weekends.

Is there a way to define a jobs behaviour according to its time? Or what would 
you suggest doing in such situation?


Thanks,

Begum Tuncer
