Dear All, Bacula (3.0.2) is configured to make daily backups of some systems. Full backups unfortunately take more then one day to complete and I want to avoid that duplicate jobs start (or are queued) before the full backup is completed.
No duplicate job control directives are configured. If I understand the manual correctly (perhaps it's an interpretation error of me) http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/New_Features.html#SECTION003100000000000000000 this should not happen. I had a quick look in the source code and found this code in src/dird/job.c: bool allow_duplicate_job(JCR *jcr) { JOB *job = jcr->job; JCR *djcr; /* possible duplicate */ if (job->AllowDuplicateJobs) { return true; } if (!job->AllowHigherDuplicates) { --> code related to "Cancel Queued Duplicates: and "Cancel Running Duplicates" here } return true; } Apparently "Cancel Queued Duplicates" and "Cancel Running Duplicates" are only evaluated when "Allow Higher Duplicates" is set to "no" - not default. Is this an error in the documentation, code or me not correctly understanding the manual or code? Kind regards, Bram Vandoren. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
