Hello,

My backup schedule is such that I do a full on the first Sunday of the
month, diffs every other sunday, and incrementals every other day. The
first time I run a client Bacula upgrades the backup to a full as it
should. This typically results in two full backups happening in the
same month. So when I have gone through my pool of three full backup
volumes and it's time to recycle the first one, the retention period
does not allow the first volume to be recycled. This is all to be
expected and I could solve the problem by marking the dates on my
calendar and manually recycling the backup volume before this cycle
starts again, but I forget sometimes.

So I have implemented "max wait time = 300" to cancel a job if it
waits for 5 minutes on the storage resource to recycle a volume. This
works fine, but the problem is that if others jobs are started at the
same time who also use "max wait time" they also get canceled because
they also have been waiting too long.  But in this case the clients
are waiting for "maximum concurrent jobs" and not the storage daemon
per se.

Is there a way I can specifically say "cancel this job if it's waiting
for the storage daemon for too long" versus "cancel this job if it
waits for anything too long"?

Thanks,
Eric
