[Bacula-users] Trouble getting jobs to run simultaneously

2012-12-07 Thread ccspro
This is a very common issue that must be looked at carefully, this will be a large post and I apologize for it :P Priority levels are very hard to manage/maintain since they can cause jobs to block! Meaning if a job has network (or other) issues and the Bacula server connection doesn't drop but

This is a shot in the dark but on some IBM standalone servers (not blade) disabling MSI did help fix a few issues (recv' queue errors, etc), your mileage may vary on this one. I'm not sure about freebsd but centos it is just setting an option for modprobe after the driver init, example: modprob

2012-12-07 Thread ccspro
What is the actual issue here?, I may have missed the actual topic of discussion... Base jobs are there to help reduce the overall file and network bandwidth when you do a full backup, the time wasted is mostly on verifications and database table content linking. On the server end it has to d

If you want to use FQDN's in Bacula and do not want to touch your DNS servers you could modify /etc/hosts (assuming you are on a *nix box) to do the job for you. The only gotcha is the remote host changes identity (repurposed, whatever) I use /etc/hosts to avoid DNS look ups, changes are immedi

You can schedule jobs any way and time you like. Note that Name = "job-name" is actually Name = "schedule-name" "schedule-name" is used for the job(s) and not the other way around. I have jobs that run fulls every day, there is more than 1 way to do the same type of schedule you just have to

You can also do that per Job OR JobDefs too, If you the same schedule for more than 1 client this may be more appropriate for you: Job or JobDefs { Pool = "thisjob-inc-pool" # default 'level' pool *REQUIRED even if not used* Full Backup Pool = "thisjob-full-pool" Incremental Backup Pool = "t

Yes reload also scans through the included config files from bacula-dir.conf I use them heavily in my environment. What a reload does not do is load any modifications of bacula-sd.conf or bacula-fd.conf you need to restart those daemons outside of bconsole. (bacula-sd/bacula-fd) I'm using 5.2.1

Hi Silver, You have a many options: If it is a remote client system and not your bacula dir/sd machine - backup your *.conf files in the bacula installation directory (normally /etc/bacula on most systems) and reinstall the bacula 5.2.12 client package [you may need to remove the package first]
