Re: [Bacula-users] parallelizing ClientRunBeforeJobs

Hello,

2013/1/17 Tilman Schmidt <t.schmidt AT phoenixsoftware DOT de>

One of my Bacula servers backs up 18 clients. Many of these
have a lengthy ClientRunBeforeJob. (SVN hot backups, database
dumps, Windows system state backups - you get the picture.)
As a consequence, more than half of the elapsed time of my
nightly backup runs is actually spent waiting for one of the
clients to complete its Before job while everything else sits
idle.

How are others handling this situation? Any smart ideas how
to get the before jobs to run in parallel, preferably keeping
the actual writing to tape sequential?

Run all Jobs in parallel and use Spooling Data. It can require all Jobs use the same pool if you have only one tape drive.

best regards
