Thank you, Kern!!!
So I’ll change to Max jobs back to 20, but will that start 2 jobs
simultaneously?
My boss really wants to backups finish before Monday morning!
Still don’t know what’s the trick.
BTW, I love your Bacula! Unbelievable stable and friendly… except for setting
up 2 backups running at the same time! ; )
Thanks, take care

Hello Jan,
This is not a good configuration. In general, for your situation, you should
set Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20 everywhere. Only if your schedule tries to
start more than two jobs at a time, or if there is some critical reason to
severely limit the number of simultaneous jobs, should you then set one of
those maximum's to something smaller.
Best regards,
Kern

followed advice from both of you, changed Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 in
configs:
[root@bacula bacula]# grep "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" *.conf
bacula-dir.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
bacula-dir.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
bacula-fd.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
bacula-sd.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
bacula-sd.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 # Added by Jan to test 2 jobs
now second job is waiting for Storage “File”

What’s the proper settings for Storage File, please?

Bacula treats "Maximum Concurrent Job" by Resource.
Sou you need to change as your need
I suggest increase this value in Director, and Storage, and in the Client let
only 2.
Be careful with possible bottlenecks of disk writes

Hi Wanderlei,
checked for Max jobs, this is what I have in /etc/bacula
[root@bacula bacula]# grep "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" *.conf
bacula-dir.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
bacula-fd.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
bacula-sd.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
Should I change bacula-fd.conf and bacula-sd.conf to Maximum Concurrent Jobs =
2?
or is there anything else I should change/add?
Thanks, take care

Hello Jan
You need to configure "Maximum Concurrent Jobs" in these files/resources:
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = XXX
File: bacula-dir.conf
Resource: Director, Storage, Client
File: bacula-sd.conf
Resource: Storage, Device
File: bacula-fd.conf
Resource: FileDaemon

Good morning, Bacula gurus!
I have another question:
How do I run 2 backup jobs simultaneously?
I have 2 pools :
ITServersPool-A
ITServersPool-B
And I’ve changed bacula-dir.conf: Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2
Now I’ve started 2 backup jobs manually for servers in each pool
Zabbix server is a member of ITServersPool-A and OTRS is a member of
ITServersPool-B
However, I can see only 1 backup is running, while second backup is waiting.
What’s the trick, please?

Many thanks in advance, would appreciate any input from you guys!!!
