Hi folks, I've been running copy jobs for the last couple of months to copy disk backups to tape with good results. However running only one copy job at the same time results in long copy queues that run into the start of the evening incrementals, so I was wondering how to increase the number of jobs running in parallel to speed things up a bit. In the copy job definition, I have
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 6 Normal backups to disk volumes run 4 at a time, to the rest of the bacula config looks ok and seems to allow parallel jobs. However when the copy job starts, I only see one job running with the rest of them waiting for max client jobs: 26053 Full copy.2012-05-29_09.43.52_04 is waiting on max Client jobs 26057 Full copy.2012-05-29_09.43.56_08 is running 26058 Increme server2057.2012-05-29_09.43.56_09 is running 26059 Full copy.2012-05-29_09.43.56_10 is waiting on max Client jobs 26060 Increme server2091.2012-05-29_09.43.56_11 is waiting execution 26061 Full copy.2012-05-29_09.43.56_12 is waiting on max Client jobs 26062 Increme server48.2012-05-29_09.43.56_13 is waiting execution 26063 Full copy.2012-05-29_09.43.56_14 is waiting on max Client jobs 26064 Increme server2090.2012-05-29_09.43.56_15 is waiting execution Can anyone tell me which client max job parameter is being checked here? All my full backups run to a single disk volume (per day), so is the storage definition the limiting factor (but it's set to allow six concurrent jobs), or is only a single copy job allowed to *read* from a volume at a time? As you can tell I'm a bit confused, any help is greatly appreciated.
