As others mentioned, I think it may help in your case but it may not completely solve the problem that you saw. It looks like you had 5 instances of the same job queued up at the same time. Disallowing duplicate jobs would mean the last 4 would be canceled once queued (but after being upgraded to Full). Now, if we assume your original Full job actually ended up running and completed successfully, your next instance of this job will still get upgraded to Full I suspect since it's going to see the canceled jobs as "newer" than that successful Full. The problem, I think, is what I described here in bug 1882 "The original 5.2.13 behavior when determining if a failed job needs to be rerun was to look at the start time of the most recent successful backup. From there it would then see if any job had started since then and failed. As pointed out, this creates an issue when you have FULL jobs that tend to run longer than the time period between normal backups for those jobs. i.e. the job laps itself so to speak. Any new jobs would be upgraded to FULLs and then canceled since the original FULL was still running (this assumes that duplicate jobs are not allowed). But once the original FULL finished, Bacula was grabbing it's start time and then seeing those canceled FULL jobs that happened since the successful FULL was started. To me, it seems like looking at the end time of that successful job makes more sense." The change I made was to have Bacula look at the real end time of the last successful job and then see if any jobs have failed since that time. This fixed these type of issues for us. Sorry that this probably doesn't help you with fixing it right now if you're running 7.0.x, but I think it does explain the behavior that you're seeing and also says that it is still there in 7.0.x And just for completeness, these are the related settings that we run with: Allow Duplicate Jobs = no Cancel Lower Level Duplicates = yes Cancel Queued Duplicates = yes Cancel Running Duplicates = no Rerun Failed Levels = yes hope this helps, --tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
