I concur with David.  When these jobs are scheduled, Bacula will

you that the resources are not available.


Fine.
However, I believe the subject is misleading then: no "intervention" 
is actually needed.

The load is high, but the problem will go away by itself.


Well it is possible it is a over commit causing a "deadlock". Bacula is 
not smart enough to figure out what is not right.  If you get your use 
of SD resources set correctly you should not get the messages.




Is there a switch to turn these messages off?



There is no simple switch to turn the messages off, but perhaps you 
could filter them ether in the Message resource or by where you send them.

If you are using disk, increasing the maximum simultaneous jobs in 
the Device resource and restarting the SD will generally solve the 
problem, 


Ok, I had increased maximum jobs, but didn't restart the SD.
I'll try again.

These messages generally occur when you
  over commit the SD resources.  If you are using disk, increasing
  the maximum simultaneous jobs in the Device resource and
  restarting the SD will generally solve the problem, but you might
  also have to assign more Storage devices depending on what you are
  doing.

  I think what's going on here is even though these
jobs aren't running they've reserved a device for when (if) they
do. This is probably exceeding the maximum job limit for your
SD.

Hello.
  
  I've got an installation of 9.4.3 on FreeBSD/amd64, where
  several 
  clients are doing backups on a few SDs.
  Since some of these clients are laptops, I've activated
  "Reschedule On 
  Error" to let Bacula try again in an hour if a laptop is not
  there.
  
  
  
  Since then, I'm getting a lot of messages like the following:
  
  Subject: Bacula: Intervention needed for
  XXX.2019-09-11_10.00.00_56
  Body:
  11-Sep 10:25 XXXr-sd JobId 15335: JobId=15335, Job 
  XXX.2019-09-11_10.00.00_56 waiting to reserve a device.
  
  This happens with several different clients.
  
  
  
  The point here is that no manual intervention is really
  needed: the 
  backup will eventually succeed automatically if the laptop
  arrives in 
  the LAN or fail if it doesn't.
  I think there's nothing I can do or should do.
  
  So, how can I get rid of these messages?
  Is this a bug or a feature I don't understand?
