Rather than continue to beat my head against the wall, let me describe what I need Bacula to perform and hopefully someone smarter than me can suggest the best setup.
We have 3 types of jobs in this particular facility: 1) OS backups that run nightly 2) Database backup that runs nightly 3) Database transaction logs that are initiated by the client, typically every 10 minutes. These are very important and need to be flushed to tape in an expedient manner. We have a single drive Sony SDX-700C robot. We also have local file storage available. The most important consideration is that #3 gets completed quickly each time it runs, or it risks backing up the next run and causing our monitoring system to page. :-P The problem I typically run into is that because the client initiates the #3 jobs, they are forced to wait each night as #1 jobs finish. Even with a higher priority, since they are not scheduled jobs. I even went so far as to create a FileStorage device for #1 jobs. But this made no difference in my tests. My last resort is to start up another storage daemon for the #1 jobs, but I'd like to ask you all first to see if there's a better way, or maybe I've just missed something simple.
