Re: [Bacula-users] Problem of "is waiting on max storage jobs" and "is waiting for an appendable volume"
2014-11-19 08:54:53
I've found this thread very helpful. I have just a couple of
questions.
1. I have jobs that backup to disk. It has data spooling turned on
and MAXIMUM CONCURRENT JOBS = 5. They all have the same priority
and write to the same pool. It appears to be working, is this the
proper way to handle concurrent jobs?
2. I have a COPY JOB that kicks later that night that copies from
DISK to TAPE (LTO-5). It too has the same configuration above but
it on runs one job at a time. I sort of expected it to run
concurrent and use the data spooling to make sure everything was in
order before writing to the tape but is always seems to block on
storage.
3. Sometimes the individual responsible forgets to put in the tape
the night before. I have a critical job (Priority = 1) that kicks
off the next morning. However it never runs because the tape job is
in the queue waiting for the tape (Priority = 10). Is there a way
to make sure the higher priority job gets run?
Thanks again.

*Just to give a personal contribution about the subject*.
1. It's redundant to have date variables on the volume
names, since you have the Label Date information on Bacula
Catalog, that can be accessed with the "llist" command.
2. For disk backups I like to use something like: Label
Format = "${Pool}-${NumVols}", or
maybe: "${Pool}-${NumVols}-${Storage}"; NumVols is a
incremental counter of volumes in pool, and this way you will
have always a unique name for each volume.

You´re welcome Sieu
:-)
About the label
format: when Bacula recycles a volume, it doesn´t change
the label. So if you have a thursday-2014-11-6 volume,
with 13 days retention period and , then it could be
recycled and used by Bacula at 2014-11-27, but your volume
name will stay the first label thursday-2014-11-6. So, in
the case of reusing volumes, it is better to not have
dates on volumes names. Instead, maybe you can have
thursday-1, thursday-2, etc.
Best regards,
Ana
