Bacula treats "Maximum Concurrent Job" by Resource.

Sou you need to change as your need

I suggest increase this value in Director, and Storage, and in the Client let only 2.

Be careful with possible bottlenecks of disk writes

Hi Wanderlei,

 

checked for Max jobs, this is what I have in /etc/bacula

 

[root@bacula bacula]# grep "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" *.conf

bacula-dir.conf:  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2

bacula-fd.conf:  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20

bacula-sd.conf:  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20

 

Should I change bacula-fd.conf and bacula-sd.conf to Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2?

 

or is there anything else I should change/add?

 

 

 

Thanks, take care

Hello Jan

 

You need to configure "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" in these files/resources:

 

Maximum Concurrent Jobs = XXX

 

File: bacula-dir.conf

Resource:  Director, Storage, Client

 

File: bacula-sd.conf

Resource:  Storage, Device

 

File: bacula-fd.conf

Resource: FileDaemon


 

Best Regards

Good morning, Bacula gurus!

 

I have another question:

 

How do I run 2 backup jobs simultaneously?

 

I have 2 pools :

ITServersPool-A

ITServersPool-B

 

And I’ve changed bacula-dir.conf:  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2

 

Now I’ve started 2 backup jobs manually for servers in each pool

Zabbix server is a member of ITServersPool-A and OTRS is a member of ITServersPool-B

However, I can see only 1 backup is running, while second backup is waiting.

 

What’s the trick, please?

 

Running Jobs:

Console connected at 07-Mar-17 09:53

JobId  Type Level     Files     Bytes  Name              Status

======================================================================

10889  Back Incr          0         0  Zabbix             is running

10890  Back Incr          0         0  OTRS              is waiting on max Storage jobs

====

 

Many thanks in advance, would appreciate any input from you guys!!!

 

 

Thanks, take care
