[Bacula-users] Tuning SD/FD/DIR Maximum Concurrent Jobs

Dear All,

I've been using Bacula for about 7 years and have never quite understood how to properly configure these values in relation to each other. In terms of an FD on a normal client I will typically use a Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5 setting in bacula-fd.conf.

On my "Backup Server" I run the FD, SD, and DIR. The FD I've set that parameter to 30, and 45 in the DIR and FD. I use the FD on the server to backup files from NFS mounts and locally written backups from client types that can only ftp/scp/sftp files (can't install bacula-fd on them)

What I'm really after is some best practices or guidelines to setting Max Concurrent Jobs in all the resources based on number of clients, backup jobs, and number storage devices. I

t seems that every now and then I've got too many jobs in queue waiting for available storage devices. Sometimes the devices go out to lunch. They think they are reserved, but don't actually have anything mounted and won't mount any new volumes.

Thanks,
Shon

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
