I had another bug with this situation. Bacula was doing a backup from a workstation with spooling. After 8GB it began to despool the data to tape and while this was done the user switched off the workstation. So the second part could not be stored and bacula canceled the job. Now the canceled job stuck in the queue and thus prevented the next scheduled jobs from running.


Yes. It can take up to two hours before the SD "accepts" the timeout. Knowing myself, I guess you weren't patient enough :-)

The job was canceled in the late afternoon and I noticed it next morning, 12 hours later, because I was missing the usual email.

That should have been enough time... no idea where this comes from. A more detailed analisys could start with running the SD and DIR with debug output enabled, and capturing that output when the problem occurs again.


Once you got the job email that states that the job failed other jobs should run normally. (By the way, the best way to avoid that your backup time window is used with waiting, not with working, is to enable multiple concurrent jobs. That's probably what you'd want in production mode.)

That's a good idea. I didn't think of it because I only thought of running jobs with one tape drive.

Of course it's best to make sure everything else works as it should before you start running multiple jobs at the same time. At least, now you only lose one backup job when you've got to restart DIR or SD...
