All right, that's maybe a bit long and problem most is that i still
don't really understand how all configuration fit together, but maybe
you've some time to help... ;-))
all my backups will go to disk (finally convinced my boss to buy two
big RAIDs :-)) and i would have single backup-file for each backup run
what i did:
- setup pools as in the example Kern gave in "Using Pools to Manage Volumes"
with some changes: volume retention for full is only 2 month. Another thing
i would like was to have uniqe name for the volumes created according to
the job-name (is this a good idea?)
- created unique schedules for each client (also not sure if that's a good idea)
as shown in the attached configs (i currently have 5 clients for testing, all
are created like the one attached)
- create some jobs that should be run "almost" parallel, but will be started
with some minutes delay (as you remember i had some trobles when running
jobs in "real" parallel).
now my problems...
when starting some jobs manually the jobs won't run in parallel:
Running Jobs:
JobId Level Name Status
======================================================================
7 Increme sunserv-data.2005-05-02_08.09.35 is waiting on max Storage jobs
6 Increme sunserv-system.2005-05-02_08.09.32 is waiting execution
5 Full sonne-data.2005-05-02_08.09.03 is running
4 Increme sonne-system.2005-05-02_08.08.59 is waiting for higher priority jobs to finish
3 Full atpc4ujc-data.2005-05-02_08.06.14 is running
====
sonne-data, sunserv-data and sunserv-system will all use the same pool and same storage
but why are the "sunserv"-jobs waiting for sonne to complete?
last weekend, when i first tried this configuration, the problem was that almost all of
the backups didn't run because the jobs were waiting for volume to be labeled (but some
of them run and also created volumes automatically!)!! funny, isn't it?
so, sorry if these is really long to read and maybe really dumb...
but... THANK's a lot for your help!!
