Another option: The original poster's "unacceptable limit" is not a limit to others or it is a acceptable one. > > > > Would be really nice to know if it should be possible to run more than > > one backup job per machine. > > Hello, > > You have to ask developers.

So now I'm trying to create a parallel lane to get more throughput. and elaborate it with: > > > we try to do backups with two jobs in parallel for our Windows > > > fileserver to get better throughput. ------------- Both jobs start as > > > expected, but only one proceed with VSS and saving the other simply > > > waits for the first to complete.

Then come with smart questions like How is "max concurrent jobs" on a winbacula file deamon propagated into VSS? Whatelse beside "max concurrent jobs" is needed for doing parallel backup? My next step would be doing more research on _my_ problem. Even it fails, it gives other people more time to respond om my message. The good thing about it, is that it avoids a rude _same day_ "I DEMAND A REPLY!". In the occasion of no reply from the mailing list, I would come back with the results of my research. Depending of the outcome I would post either I have the feeling that I'm building a second neck on the bottle. or If I'm asking for a second neck on the bottle, please say so.
