Hi all, We're using bareos-19.2 and are backing up servers to one storage device. We have set up a maximum of 4 concurrent running backup jobs and this works fine.
Sometimes we need to urgently restore something while 4 backup jobs are running and other backup jobs have been queued. In our current setup, when I schedule a restore job, it waits until all 4 running jobs are finished, then execute the restore job and then continues with the other queued backup jobs. Snippet of configuration: Storage configuration in director: Storage { Name = store1 Address = 172.20.36.21 Password = "secret" Device = store1 Media Type = File Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4 } Storage { Name = restore Address = 172.20.36.21 Password = "secret Device = restore Media Type = File } Device definition on storage daemon: Device { Name = restore Media Type = File Archive Device = /backup/bareos-store1 LabelMedia = yes Random Access = yes AutomaticMount = yes RemovableMedia = no AlwaysOpen = no Spool Directory = /backup/bareos-spool Maximum Spool Size = 100g } Device { Name = store1 Media Type = File Archive Device = /backup/bareos-store1 LabelMedia = yes Random Access = yes AutomaticMount = yes RemovableMedia = no AlwaysOpen = no Description = "Bareos store1: Almere outside openstack" Spool Directory = /backup/bareos-spool Maximum Spool Size = 100g Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4 } All backup jobs use the 'store1' storage device The restore job uses the 'restore' storage device. Restore job definition: Job { Name = "Restore" Type = Restore Client = prd-mgmt-bareosstore1 Storage = restore Pool = daily Fileset = "restore" Messages = Standard Allow Mixed Priority = yes Priority = 5 Where = /tmp/bareos-restore } There is no storage defiined in any pool config (there was, but I removed it from the pool definition and reloaded bareos director) In the log of the restore job I still see that the 'store1' device is used, which explains why it will wait, but why does the restore job not use the 'restore' device as I have set in the job definition? Is it possible to create a restore job that will be executed immediately? Thanks in advance! /Jurgen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
