I have been doing some searching, but I am apparently not searching on
the right key words, and can't seem to find out how to enable multiple
jobs to run simultaneously. I am running my backups to Disk only and
not tape, so I do have random access media, and also knowing that
running multiple jobs to the volume may slow down restores. The problem
that I am trying to solve is a slow link to one of the machines, it
takes a several hours to backup, so I need to start it early, but don't
want to make the remaining server have to wait for it to complete before
executing their backups. Some of the faster machines are fairly large
volume and may take up to an hour so I would rather not just run them
first delaying the slow machines start for a couple of hours.
I know there are some Max Concurrent Jobs settings, not sure if I am
just missing one of those or if I need to add more storage devices/pools
possibly a spool area, etc. I have made sure to configure the
priorities correctly (since in my searching I have found that it will
only run same priority jobs at same time, which makes sense) so the main
backup jobs are one priority, a few less critical servers another, and
then the catalogue backup set to run last.
If anyone knows of some documentation that describes all the steps is
necessary to allow multiple jobs at once, and can direct me to it, that
would be great.
