Greetings,
a puzzling event occurred to me while deploying bacula. I have the
following jobs defined (same priority):

Job {
  Name = "Standard backup"
  Schedule = "MonthlyCycle"
  FileSet = general
  ...
}

Job {
  Name = "First backup"
  Schedule = "MonthlyCycle"
  RunBefore = "/script/stop/first"
  RunAfter = "/script/start/first"
  FileSet = first
  ...
}

Job {
  Name = "Second backup"
  Schedule = "MonthlyCycle"
  RunBefore = "/script/stop/second"
  RunAfter = "/script/start/second"
  FileSet = second
  ...
}

all using this schedule

Schedule {
  Name = "MonthlyCycle"
  Run = Full 1st sun at 3:05
  Run = Differential 2nd-5th sun at 3:05
  Run = Incremental mon-sat at 3:05
}

but the jobs were scheduled as follows:

standard (incremental)
  Start time:             17-Mar-2005 03:05:02
  End time:               17-Mar-2005 03:10:01

first (full)
  Start time:             17-Mar-2005 03:10:03
  End time:               17-Mar-2005 03:13:15

second (full)
  Start time:             17-Mar-2005 09:55:14
  End time:               17-Mar-2005 10:41:32

Why is the second backup launched a few hours later ?

The tape server is a Fedora Core 1 host using an LTO drive. By analogy with cron, I'm about to redirect standard input and output in the
RunBefore and RunAfter to /dev/null, just in case. Any suggestions ?


Thank you for your consideration,
Davide Bolcioni
