James,
I am not having the problem, when I backups run, it backs up seven clients at
the same time. Did you set "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" in the Storage section in
bacula-sd.conf?
Here is what I have in bacula-sd.conf Storage section
Storage
{
Name = backupserv-sd
SDPort = 9103
WorkingDirectory = "/backups/working"
Pid Directory = "/var/run"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 50
}
Here is what I have in Director section for bacula-dir.conf
Director
{
Name = backupserv-dir
DIRport = 9101
QueryFile = "/usr/local/etc/query.sql"
WorkingDirectory = "/backups/working"
PidDirectory = "/var/run"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 7
Password = "xxxxxxx"
Messages = Daemon
FDConnectTimeout = 5 minutes
}
This is probably an overkill, but I have also set "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" in
Storage and Client definition for all client in bacula-dir.conf file.
I had read several posts on bacula mailing lists about Maximum Concurrent Jobs
but could not find a definitive answer so I added the option where ever it was
accepted.
