Hello,
Running 2 jobs with same priority at the same is running well.
So I used the priority to order the start of the jobs and try to run
different priority jobs by using "Allowed Mixed Priority = yes" for
all the relevant jobs:
# Job definition for rotate
JobDefs {
Name = "RotateJob"
Type = Backup
Level = Incremental
Schedule = "Cycle"
Max Start Delay = 1240000
Max Wait Time = 3600000
Max Run Time = 3600000
Spool Data = yes
Spool Attributes = yes
Messages = Standard
Pool = Daily
Storage = "Disk2"
Incremental Backup Pool = Daily
Differential Backup Pool = Weekly
Full Backup Pool = Monthly
Rerun Failed Levels = yes
Allow Duplicate Jobs = no
Cancel lower level duplicates = yes
Cancel Queued Duplicates = yes
Cancel Running Duplicates = no
Accurate = yes
Priority = 9
Allow Mixed Priority = yes
}
…
Here for each priority one job def:
…
Job {
Name = "conny_full"
JobDefs = "RotateJob"
Client = conny-fd
FileSet = "Full Set"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/conny_full.bsr"
}
Job {
Name = "conny_home"
JobDefs = "RotateJob"
Client = conny-fd
FileSet = "home Set"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/conny_home.bsr"
Priority = 13
}
Job {
Name = "nihilnihil_home"
JobDefs = "RotateJob"
Client = nihilnihil-fd
FileSet = "home wo WinWork Set"
Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bacula/nihilnihil_home.bsr"
Priority = 12
}
…
By the way only nihilnihil_home is running for the moment although:

So I would be expected that if only one job of prio 9 is running the job
nihilnihil_home
would be started. If the last prio 9 job ended the next prio 12 job would be
started.
By the way, as shown above the job web_server is still waiting and the als shown
below from the logs the running job nihilnihil_home wasn't already started
before all prio 9 has been ended.
The prio 9 jobs has been running in parallel with max of 2 concurent jobs:
Job: backup_full.2020-07-05_23.50.00_21
Scheduled time: 05-Jul-2020 23:50:00

End time: 06-Jul-2020 01:30:36

Job: web_full.2020-07-05_23.50.00_22

Job: file_full.2020-07-05_23.50.00_23

Start time: 06-Jul-2020 01:30:47
End time: 06-Jul-2020 03:52:43
Elapsed time: 2 hours 21 mins 56 secs
Priority: 9
Job: mail_full.2020-07-05_23.50.00_24
Scheduled time: 05-Jul-2020 23:50:00
Start time: 06-Jul-2020 01:30:44
End time: 06-Jul-2020 02:07:52
Elapsed time: 37 mins 8 secs
Priority: 9
You can see at the time backup_full was running in meantime the two jobs
web_full and file_full has been running.
I wonder me that file_full has same endtime with backup_full, but maybe this
is a limit of storing the attrs to the database? This is not really relevant.
conny_full and mail_full has been started and running in parallel so
I would expect that nihilhihil_home should be started after 02:07:52,
but it has been really started after 03:52:43 so it was waiting for the
end of the last prio 9 job mail_full.
Any idea why the allow mixed priority = yes rule is not working well?
I'm unsure but I mean with older release 7.x before upgraded to buster
it has been worked well.
Cheers,
Pierre
