Hi All.
I am using Ubuntu Dapper and its Bacula version 1.36.3.
In my setup I have about 15+ clients (mix Ubuntu and Win) that I want
to concurrently run backups at the same time. My first attempts
resulted with Bacula appearing to hang as I can no longer connect
Bconsole to the Director. And if I am on the Bconsole when the
concurrent job runs the console get stuck at the line "Running Jobs:"
as if waiting for the director to list the running jobs.
Arno from this list was kind enough to suggest using the "Max
Concurrent Jobs" directive and to have a ping test script. I am now
using both of the techniques above. However, I still get the same
problem.
Here are some of my configs:
============from bacula-dir.conf===========
Director {
Name = sample-dir
QueryFile = "/etc/bacula/scripts/query.sql"
WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
PidDirectory = "/var/run/bacula"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
Messages = Daemon
DirPort = 9101
Password = "secret"
FDConnectTimeout = 1 minutes
SDConnectTimeout = 1 minutes
}
Client {
Name = ws00001-fd
Address = ws00001
FDPort = 9102
Catalog = MyCatalog
Password = "secret"
File Retention = 30 days
Job Retention = 6 months
AutoPrune = yes
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
}
JobDefs {
Name = "DefaultJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
FileSet = "Linux Set"
Schedule = "WeeklyCycle"
Storage = File
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Full Backup Pool = Full-Pool
Incremental Backup Pool = Inc-Pool
Differential Backup Pool = Diff-Pool
Priority = 10
Reschedule on Error = yes
Reschedule Interval = 1 hours
Reschedule Times = 3
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
RunBeforeJob = "/home/admin/bin/checkhost -v %c"
}
Job {
Name = "ws00001-job"
JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
Client = ws00001-fd
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/ws00001.bsr"
}
Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Level=Full 1st sun at 12:05
Run = Level=Differential 2nd-5th sun at 12:05
Run = Level=Incremental mon-sat at 9:05
}
Storage {
Name = File
Address = sample
SDPort = 9103
Password = "secret"
Device = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
}
=========from bacula-sd.conf=============
Storage {
Name = sample-sd
SDPort = 9103
WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/bacula"
Pid Directory = "/var/run/bacula"
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
}
Director {
Name = sample-dir
Password = "secret"
}
Device {
Name = FileStorage
Media Type = File
Archive Device = /backups
LabelMedia = yes;
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes;
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
=======from a bacula-fd.conf===========
FileDaemon {
Name = ws00001-fd
FDport = 9102
WorkingDirectory = /var/lib/bacula
Pid Directory = /var/run/bacula
Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 20
SD Connect Timeout = 5 min
}
=================================
After reading the documentation I believe I am using the "Maximum
Concurrent Jobs" in the proper places already. The checkhost script
of Phil Stracchino is running well and it properly reports and
dismisses the current job order of offline hosts.
I would appreciate it if some of the list members can again point me
to the right direction?
Thank you.
Holden
