Re: [Bacula-users] scheduling problem
I stand corrected. I finally got through the full backup, swapping volumes
as soon as I could once they were requested but the following 2 nights
bacula scheduled another full backup (when it should have been
incremental).
If anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing them.
Thanks in advance,
Roy

}
and a host which uses that schedule:
JobDefs {

Level = Incremental
Client = nutbuster-fd
FileSet = nutbuster-set
Schedule = Monthly
Storage = DLT-7000
Messages = Standard
Pool = Default
Priority = 10
}
The DLT-7000 is a single drive, not a jukebox and the file set is large so
a full backup spans several volumes. As such, when the full backup starts
on the 1st Friday of the month, Saturday is spent swapping volumes and the
backup is still running into Sunday. So, another backup is scheduled by
the scheduler on Saturday as a Full not an Incremental. At least this is
the behavior I've seen, and I'm assuming it's because of the tape swapping
delay. Can anyone confirm that I'm correct or otherwise point me in the
right direction?
Thanks in advance,
Roy

This is the known behavior. 3.0.X versions of bacula have
configuration options that allow you to not schedule a second backup
if the first has not finished by the time the second was scheduled to
start.

[Bacula-users] Scheduling problem - schedules loaded but jobs won't queue (though they will run if fired manually)
Hi All,
I a have a problem with scheduling - specifically jobs I think should
be getting queued are not.
The story is this I have two exernal USB disks, which are mounted on
different mount points, and I want to fire off jobs so that for one week
we do a full backup and a set of diffs to one disk and on another week
we do a full backup and a set of diffs to the other disk.
The idea is that we will eventaully keep some offsite.
I can see the schedules in bconsole if I do a show schedules, but the
jobs don't get queued.
If I do a manual run of a job, the work, so I am fairly confident that
pretty much every thign about the jobs is correct - except the scheduling.
Below are a date and a cal ouput from my baculsa director host for
reference and below that the two schdules from bacula-dir.conf as well
as an the default jobs defs and an example job.
Below those is a bcsonsole status dir showing none of the jobs queued
and a show schedules.
Please not the bottom five chedules were orignally the top fvie
schedules but these work so are not very interesting in the context of
the problem, so I've moved them to the bottom
Bacula version is 1.34.5.
I'd really appreciate it if any one could make any suggestions as to
what is going on (or more correctly not going on) and any suggestiosn
for further diagnosis or fix.
Regards and Thanks
Jason
