Dear All,
I'm trying to understand how to properly use this directive and if its
possible to configure Bacula the way I think I can using this directive.
I'm using Version: 5.2.13 (19 February 2013) i386-pc-solaris2.10 solaris
5.10
The manual at
http://www.bacula.org/en/dev-manual/main/main/New_Features_in_5_2_x.html#SECTION00361000000000000000says
"Maximum Concurrent Jobs is a new Device directive in the Storage Daemon
configuration permits setting the maximum number of Jobs that can run
concurrently on a specified Device. Using this directive, it is possible to
have different Jobs using multiple drives, because when the Maximum
Concurrent Jobs limit is reached, the Storage Daemon will start new Jobs on
any other available compatible drive. This facilitates writing to multiple
drives with multiple Jobs that all use the same Pool."
I think this means that if you have Device A and its running 5 jobs from
Pool A, and you've set the Max Concurrent Jobs = 5 for Device A, then the
next job from Pool A should use Device A1.
Where this all breaks down for me is how to configure Device, Storage,
Pool, Job (what directives to put where so that Bacula automatically
switches devices but keeps the right initial storage and stays in the right
pool and right devices.
The way I envision using this is currently I have a Full Device and an
Incremental Device for disk backups. I use MaxJobs=1 so that each Job is
its own Volume. As we know, only 1 volume can be mounted at a time. This
limits me to running 1 job in a Pool at a time in my current configuration.
Im hoping I can add multiple Devices and Bacula will start being able to
run more Jobs in each Pool.
Any help understanding if this will work and how to configure it, or just a
push in the right direction to understand this directive is very
appreciated.
Thankfully Yours,
Shon
