+ This directive permits you to control the order in which your jobs are
+ being run by specifying a positive non-zero number. The higher the number,
+ the lower the job priority. Assuming you are not running concurrent jobs,
all queued jobs of priority 1 will run before queued jobs of priority 2
and so on, regardless of the original scheduling order.
keep these points in mind:
\begin{itemize}
-\item To run concurrent jobs, you must set Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 2 in five
- or six distinct places: in bacula-dir.conf in the Director, the Job, the
- Client, the Storage resources; in bacula-fd in the FileDaemon (or
- Client) resource, and in bacula-sd.conf in the Storage resource. If any
- one is missing, it will throttle the jobs to one at a time. You may, of
- course, set the Maximum Concurrent Jobs to more than 2.
+\item See \ilink{Running Concurrent Jobs}{ConcurrentJobs} on how to setup
+ concurrent jobs.
\item Bacula concurrently runs jobs of only one priority at a time. It
will not simultaneously run a priority 1 and a priority 2 job.
