Backup Central

Hello,

I'm starting to implement a bacula environment.

Now I have a problem with two jobs started at the same time. One starts
without error but the second throws errors while the first one is
running (log file)

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Moritz Herrmann

Do you have the latest bacula meaning version bacula-5.2.3? I remember
seeing this in the past but I thought it was fixed.

Looking into the log files i found some crude maybe related error.

The label format of my pool is

Label Format =
"${Job}_${Year}-${Month:p/2/0/r}-${Day:p/2/0/r}_${Hour:p/2/0/r}h${Minute:p/2/0/r}m"

with the intention to generate a new file for each job.

the job name of the below log snipet is "R25"

so i thought the resulting filename sould be "R25_2012-01-13_10h33m" but
the created and used filename is "R33_2012-01-13_10h33m"

but why?

thanks for help!

Unless the Device (FileStorage in this case) specified in the Storage
resource in bacula-dir.conf specifies a autochanger, then device
FileStorage can only have one volume loaded at a time. Specifying
MaximumVolumeJobs=1 in the Pool resource means that the FileStorage
device cannot possibly be used by more than one job at a time. In order
to write to multiple volumes simultaneously, you either have to
configure multiple devices and divide the jobs amongst them or configure
as an autochanger with multiple drives. Or you could just schedule the
jobs to run sequentially.

Thanks for clearifying this for me. I didn't know that there can only be
one active device at a time.

So how do I configure such an autochange and why has the generated
backup file the wrong job name

"R33_2012-01-13_10h33m" should be "R25_2012-01-13_10h33m"

There can be more than one device. However, only one media volume can be
"mounted" in a device. In the case of file storage, that media volume is
a normal file. In other words, if there is only one device, then only
one volume file at a time can be written. And if MaximumVolumeJobs=1,
then only one job can write to that volume file.

So how do I configure such an autochange and why has the generated
backup file the wrong job name

It has been suggested that the wrong job name is a bug. I'm not familiar
with that. The autochanger resource is documented at
http://www.bacula.org/5.2.x-manuals/en/main/main/Autochanger_Resource.html.
Bacula comes with an autochanger script named disk-changer that may be
used to implement an autochanger. There is also vchanger
(sourceforge.net/projects/vchanger/), designed primarily for removable
disk storage, but also works for fixed disk.
