A couple of days ago I added a 2nd computer with the file and storage daemons to what was previously a single-system bacula config.
They're working just fine. Yay! I'd like to help, tips, caveats for concurrent jobs. My setup is like this: server8: Solaris8, Bacula v2.0.3, MySQL, DIR/SD/FD, Quantum-SL3 w/ 1 LT03. server57: Solaris8, Bacula v 2.0.2, SD/FD, Qualstar TLS4210 w/ 1 AIT3. All jobs from server8 go to the storage daemon on server8. Likewise, all jobs from server47 go to the SD on server57. I want to allow one job to run concurrently on each SD/FD pair so that if one of my libraries is waiting for a tape or is just misconfuggered, the jobs for the other server will still execute. I believe this is to be done with "Max Concurrent Jobs". Each SD/FD pair runs one job for data. THEN I back up the bacula database on server8 to the server8-sd. So, if i understand the directive properly, in their respective config files I set the Maximum Concurrent Jobs to equal: Director: 2 or even higher. Job: 1 (For the data-related jobs because I don't run the same job more than one at a time.) Client: 1 (I only run 1 job at a time Storage: 1 (Because I don't want/need to interleave jobs on tapes.) I'm pretty confident that I have it right up to this point. BUT! I don't want to back up the database in the middle of server57's data-backup. I don't think there is a directive that I can use to ensure that the database job doesn't run until ALL jobs for the day are done running. So I have to accomplish that by scheduling it long enough after all my other jobs that they should be done assuming their not waiting on a tape, etc... Correct?
