I'm using Bacula to back up 8 servers to a pool on a hard disk. To make
management somewhat easier, I configured bacula to create a new volume
(i.e., file) for each job. In the past, I only allowed one backup job to
run at a time (Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 1) and everything worked
beautifully.
Today, I tried to speed up my backups by allowing multiple concurrent
backup jobs. Sure enough, the backups completed much faster - but
apparently multiple jobs now ended up in the same volume, despite the
Max Volume Jobs setting.
Is this a bug? If so, is it something that has already been reported
and/or fixed? I'm using 2.4.2.
Thanks!
Here are my pool declarations. All the jobs use the Full-Pool, Diff-Pool
or Inc-Pool as appropriate for the type of backup
Pool {
Name = Default
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = Disk3, Disk2
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 3 months # one year
# Label Format =
"${Client}_${Job}_${Year}${Month:p/2/0/r}${Day:p/2/0/r}_${Hour:p/2/0/r}${Minute:p/2/0/r}${Second:p/2/0/r}_${Level}.bacula"
Label Format = "bacula"
}
Pool {
Name = Full-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = Disk3, Disk2
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 3 months # one year
Label Format = "bacula-full"
}
Pool {
Name = Diff-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = Disk3, Disk2
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Recycle = yes
Auto Prune = yes
Volume Retention = 40 days
Label Format = "bacula"
}
Pool {
Name = Inc-Pool
Pool Type = Backup
Storage = Disk3, Disk2
Maximum Volume Jobs = 1
Recycle = yes
Auto Prune = yes
Volume Retention = 10 days
Label Format = "bacula"
}
