Hello, Thank you for your reply. Here is the missing information. My Bacula server and the four clients are on Linux Centos 7 servers. I use Webmin version 1.941 to access bacula. The bacula version is 7.0.5. The SQL server is a MariaDB version 5.5.64. The server has 30TB of hard drive and 30GB of memory. Backups are saved in a directory directly on the backup server. No backup is kept on clients side. At the moment there is 6 TB of data to backup. On each of the 4 clients I have an incremental backup task schedule every day at 11 p.m. Right now I have 4 backups running for 5 days and 14 waiting.
Here is the server configuration information: Thank you so much!

How is it configured? Does it have enough memory? How much data are you backing up, and where are you backing it up to? What are the concurrency settings on ALL of your Bacula daemons? What is the Director currently *doing*? What jobs are running, what jobs are pending, what jobs are scheduled? This would probably be enough to start troubleshooting. Tell us how your system is set up, at high level, and give us an overview of your configuration (with passwords obscured, of course). One unfortunate beginner mistake that I have seen people run into is to run disk-to-disk backups stored on one of the filesystems that is backed up, leading to a job that will effectively run forever as it recursively backs up its own backups. Another common mistake is to put the catalog on a fresh-out-of-the-box, unconfigured, untuned MySQL instance. The only thing that can be said of the typical fresh-from-the-box default MySQL configuration file is that it's usually no longer actively harmful. Whichever database you are using for your catalog, make sure it is properly configured and tuned before you start. (And don't use SQLite as a production catalog DB. Seriously.) -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
