[Networker] Sessions problem
2007-03-26 05:41:11
Hello,
this weekend I was monitoring the backup activity and I noticed that our
5 most important servers were waiting for a tape. A few hours earlier,
they were backupping.
We have 3 LTO-2 drives and 2 pools that are frequently used (Full and
incremental).
What happened was that when their tape was full, the server wanted to
change the tape, but the incremental tape got in between and started to
backup to one drive. No problem for me, but these 5 servers were
waiting, while there were still 2 drives with the full pool. Why
couldn't they just join that drive? Later on I noticed that there were
2 incremental tapes in 2 drives and I only got one full tape left. The
server was asking for 2 full tapes and I had a whole bunch of savesets
waiting. At sunday there were only 2 and later just 1 save session
backupping to that full pool and the speed was just 10 MB/s, so there
was plenty of room for the waiting savesets to join, but they didn't.
These important servers have priority 1, so most important, and still
they get backupt last.
Can I change the default behaviour?
