Did you update the existing volumes after changing the pool setup and reloading the configuration? > 2) When the full job hang waiting for media (which it did for a week) - > none of the incremental jobs were run.. then when it gave up finding a > media for the full job - it ran all the waiting incremental jobs. > What I don't understand, is that the incremental job uses a different > pool - which had appendable (and even unused) media in it - so why did > it halt the other jobs - which were dependant on another pool? (is this > maybe a bug?) Most probably this is not a bug. If you want to run jobs in parallel (yes, a stalled job, waiting for media, IS a running job) you have to set that up explicitly. Also, when a full backup is currently waiting, it's difficult to determine on which job the parallel incremental should be based: On the full job, which perhaps never will complete successfully? Or on the previous full, in which case the incremental would not be an incremental to the (then) latest full? For these reasons, Bacula can't do anything useful in your situation, I think :-( Arno > Thank you in advance. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
