[Bacula-users] Problem/confusion regarding running concurrent jobs.
Hello, I have about 20 clients backing up to disk (all 1.38.11) and I'd like to run at least a few of them simultaneously but can't get it working. The manual mentions Maximum Concurrent Jobs all over the place and nowhere does it explain well how to get this to work. The best place I found was in the "Configuring the Director" page within the Job resource section (search for "distinct" on that page). I think I understand what I need to do, but I don't understand why. I currently have Maximum Concurrent Jobs set to 5 in my bacula-dir.conf (director and storage resources) and in bacula-sd.conf (storage resource). This seems, to me, to be all I should need to do in order to get this to work. According to the manual, the storage resource in bacula-sd.conf defaults to 10 so I shouldn't even need to set that. According to the Job section mentioned above, I also need to set it in my director's client and job resources (which for me are in separate, included files). I don't understand why this is necessary. I don't want "Job A" to run multiple times, nor do I want "Client A" to run multiple jobs... I want "Client A" to run "Job A" and "Client B" to run "Job B" at the same time, do I need to set concurrency in my clients and jobs in order to do this? If so, that doesn't make any sense to me; why is that the case? The error I get is something like, "trying to write to volume daily-0002 but storage is currently writing to daily=0001".

[Bacula-users] GUI Interface Name Voting
Hello, I've volunteered to tally up votes for the name of the GUI interface that Kern described in his post to the bacula-users and bacula-devel lists on 16 Jan 2007. For the operational details and concepts of this tool, please see the Gmane archives at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bacula.user/30694 (beware of line wrapping!). You have until Friday, January 26th at midnight Eastern Standard Time to cast your votes. Only votes cast in the manner described below will be counted. We received 24 name proposals in total, most of them fitting a common theme. I've not removed any name brought up from the email lists from the voting ballot - I thought it important that Bacula users get to have the most voice possible in the name of the new program. Voting instructions: Voting will be very similar to the voting method used for Bacula project development. Below are the specific rules involved: Very important. Please send your vote to the following email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you want the list to know how you voted, you may copy your response to the list. Please don't copy Kern or myself directly - you MUST use the email address above for your vote to be counted! You can vote for up to 3 different names. Your vote will be weighted 3 points for the first choice, 2 for the second, and 1 for the third. This is to obtain data for a secondary and tertiary name should it turn out that the first-place name cannot be used for whatever reason. Please use the table below in the email. All you need to do is put the name number you want to vote for after the appropriate priority. Priority 1 is the highest, and priority 3 is the lowest. You may only cast one vote for any particular name, you can vote for less than three names if you wish, and please only vote once. If you do not vote using the table below, then your vote will be discarded (it is too hard to figure out what you *might* want). Priority Name Number = 1 2 3 A correct vote response could be: Priority Name Number = 15 2 10 3 40 Where the above means that you want name 5 above all others, following by 10, and your last choice, 40. If you have any questions about the voting, please email the list instead of me directly. The names and numbers list are as follows (best viewed with a monospace font, and apologies if I've missed anyone's suggestion!): Number Name = 1bcon 2beacon 3badmin 4bgui 5Bacula-Gui (with alternate capitalization "bacula-gui") 6VanHelsing 7bat (Bacula Admin Tool) 8bacon 9badminton (Bacula ADMIN Tool Nouveau) 10 bac (Bacula Admin Console) 11 Garlic 12 Batula 13 Bagula (Bacula GUi [L] Admin) 14 Bagui (Bacula Admin GUI) 15 Bacgui (Bacula Admin Console GUI) 16 bacula-admin-gui 17 barlic (Bacula Resource Locator InterfaCe) 18 bob (Backup Orchestrator for Bacula) 19 Frontula 20 baculart 21 becon 22 qt-console 23 bqt 24 becuty Happy voting! -- Alan Gerber - Take Surveys.

Thanks! > > I suggest you look up the mail from Kern which started this thread. The short answer is that this is a generic problem wth almost all backup systems Full backups give accurate restores. Restoring from anything else may result in previously deleted files reappearing and renamed directory trees appearing under old tree root and file changes since the renaming appearing under the new root. Depending how old the full backup is, this can be a major problem and always has been the driving force behind full backup frequencies. Comment: Both of these are fixable as almost all the code to do it is onboard already in the "verify" job. The same code set will be usable for several other items on the project listing (including "merged/synthetic" backups[*]) as they're all closely related requirements. [*] at its simplest, instead of doing an accurate restore to disk, one uses the data to copy an accurate full backup to another tape. - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

Ok, this seems to be completely my fault. I'm always using bconsole in the bacula/etc directory. But it's clear that bweb needs the binary, not the script. bweb is now working as expected.
