Hello. First of all, I use Bacula 2.2.4 on FreeBSD-6.1.
I've configured all the jobs with "Max Wait Time = 12h" - the idea of this was that if a job has been waiting for storage or smth too long, it will be cancelled, so that jobs that may have a longer wait time, may start running. I've now had an issue with one big job: it starts, it won't complain anything and then, 12 hours later it gets cancelled. So I was quite surprised at this point. It seems that "max wait time" has caused a running job to be cancelled. I thought that once a job is running, the "max run time" directive is in charge. Have I misunderstood the letter or the directive? The letter I received from dir was: 11-Oct 23:05 mybacula-dir: No prior Full backup Job record found. 11-Oct 23:05 mybacula-dir: No prior or suitable Full backup found in catalog. Doing FULL backup. 11-Oct 23:06 mybacula-dir: Start Backup JobId 1647, Job=client1-userdata.2007-10-11_23.05.02 11-Oct 23:06 mybacula-dir: Recycled volume "client1-userdata-full-0003" 11-Oct 23:06 mybacula-dir: Using Device "device-client1" 11-Oct 23:06 mybacula-sd: Labeled new Volume "client1-userdata-full-0003" on device "device-client1" (/mnt/da1/bacula/client1). 11-Oct 23:06 mybacula-sd: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "client1-userdata-full-0003" on device "device-client1" (/mnt/da1/bacula/client1) 11-Oct 23:06 mybacula-dir: Max Volume jobs exceeded.
