where \lt{}number\gt{} is the maximum number of Console Connections that
could run concurrently. The default is set to 20, but you may set it to a
when the job starts, ({\bf not} necessarily the same as when the job was
scheduled). This directive works as expected since bacula 2.3.18.

A duplicate job in the sense we use it here means a second or subsequent job
with the same name starts. This happens most frequently when the first job
runs longer than expected because no tapes are available.
\item [Allow Higher Duplicates = \lt{}yes\vb{}no\gt{}]
\index[general]{Allow Higher Duplicates}
- If this directive is set to {\bf yes} (default) the job with a higher
- priority (lower priority number) will be permitted to run, and
- the current job will be cancelled. If the
- priorities of the two jobs are the same, the outcome is determined by
- other directives (see below).
+ This directive was implemented in version 5.0.0, but does not work
+ as expected. If used, it should always be set to no. In later versions
+ of Bacula the directive is disabled (disregarded).

+\item [Cancel Lower Level Duplicates = \lt{}yes\vb{}no\gt{}]
+\index[general]{Cancel Lower Level Duplicates}
+ If \textbf{Allow Duplicates Jobs} is set to \textbf{no} and this
+ directive is set to \textbf{yes}, Bacula will choose between duplicated
+ jobs the one with the highest level. For example, it will cancel a
+ previous Incremental to run a Full backup. It works only for Backup
+ jobs. The default is \texttt{no}. If the levels of the duplicated
+ jobs are the same, nothing is done and the other
+ Cancel XXX Duplicate directives will be examined.
\item [Cancel Queued Duplicates = \lt{}yes\vb{}no\gt{}]
\index[general]{Cancel Queued Duplicates}
if this directive is set to {\bf yes} any job that is already running
will be canceled. The default is {\bf no}.

+\item[DuplicateJobProximity = \lt{}time-specification\gt{}]
+\index[general]{Duplicate Job Proximity}
+ This directive permits to determine if two jobs are really duplicated.
+ If the first one is running for long time, this is probably not a good
+ idea to cancel it.
