[Bacula-users] Running different concurrent client backups to different FileStorages
I have been trying to accomplish the following, and reviewing similar postings as well as RTFM'ing the Bacula online documentation as well. I have one main Bacula system (BK-1) that writes to FileStorage. I have two client systems (Client-1 and Client-2 to keep things simple). What I would like to do is have the backup jobs run concurrent and store in different directories on the main system. What I have tried is creating a FileStore-1 and FileStorage-2 along with Device-1 and Device-2 all of "Type = File". The backup jobs (Job-1 and Job-2) will write to their respective places on the same system. What does happen is they run one at a time, and not concurrently (i.e., Job-1 and Job-2 both fire off at 1830h, but Job-2 waits for Job-1 to complete before executing). The Maximum Concurrent Jobs in the bacula-dir.conf and bacula-sd.conf are set at 20, along with both Client-1 and Client-2 bacula-fd.conf set at 20 as well, so that is not the culprit or issue apparently. Reviewing the Bacula manual online some, I see that the Bacula needs to "think" there are two Device (Device-1 and Device-2 here), which has been done since the backups have been running. Am I missing anything else perhaps? Thoughts and suggestions are extremely welcomed. Also to note, I get this list in Digest Format, so pardon any delays in responding in advance. Thanks in advance too. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

Actually I finally found the "hidden error". Apparently Client-2's Volume
("FileStore-1" as noted above) was not processed through the "label" via
bconsole. I am watching things now, and it seems I have two jobs running at
once (finally!).
Sorry for the fuss and posting.

What I did in this case was make a "File-1" and "File-2" to correspond with "Client-1" and "Client-2" and such accordingly. This helped with separating things out, and also making the bacula-dir.conf file a bit "large". --- Crawford - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
