[Bacula-users] Concurrent jobs pooled for no reason?

[Julien C. <jul...@mn...>]

Hi,
New to this list and bacula newbie, here almost everything works great, 
backup around 50 clients, except one thing.
I followed this example 
http://www.bacula.org/fr/dev-manual/Basic_Volume_Management.html#SECTION001220000000000000000.
It's about concurrent disk jobs.
The problem is that although I did separate devices, pools, full-pools, 
diff-pools, inc-pools, storages, jobs so that everything should be 
independent, Jobs are still waiting for the first one to end before they 
begin, what did I miss? It looks like I'm very close but can't find the 
reason why they still "pool".
Do I have to do differents schedules too?
I want jobs to begin all together, being independent.
Thanks for your help, Bacula rocks!


As my files are to heavy, I only post the beginning with 2 clients 
instead of 50, saving your eyes from burning...

   File Retention = 30 days            # 30 days
   Job Retention = 6 months            # six months
   AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired Jobs/Files
