Hi everyone! Currently, my Bacula seup (v5.2.6) is as follows: The director, the storage daemon and a file daemon are running on my server, two backup jobs are configured to run directly from the server. Additionally, there's a client with another file daemon and one backup job configured. The data of all three jobs is supposed to be written to the same tape drive. Since the client is connected to the server only via internet (not via LAN), the backup data from there is spooled on the server.
All three jobs are scheduled for the same time and with the current config, the jobs are queued by Bacula and are executed one after another, including the spooling of the data from the external client. But since this spooling can take quite some time, I would like Bacula to start the spooling from the external client first and, while spooling, to simultaneously start writing one (or both) local backup jobs to the tape. Disk I/O shouldn't be an issue on the server, since the source of the local backup jobs and the spooling disk are two physically separate drives. I've already tried to set the priority number of the remote job to a lower value and set "Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2" for the director. (If I've understood the Bacula documentation correctly, the default maximum concurrent job value for the storage daemon should be 4 anyway.) But also with these settings, the backup jobs are still executed strictly consecutively. What can I do to achieve the desired behaviour?
