Problem with the MaximumBandwidth option in the job

[Philippe Delalande]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all well.

In bacularis, when I set the MaximumBandwidth: 33 kB/s option in a backup job, I get the following error message

in the bacula-dir.conf file, this value is set like this:

# cat /opt/bacula/etc/bacula-dir.conf
.....
Job {
  Name = "test"
  Type = "Backup"
  Messages = "Standard"
  Storage = "data_storage"
  Pool = "Full_database_prod"
  FullBackupPool = "Full_database_prod"
  IncrementalBackupPool = "incremental_database_prod"
  Client = "test"
  Fileset = "DATABASE_Dump_E5backup_prod"
  Schedule = "database_prod"
  MaximumBandwidth = 33000
  PruneJobs = yes
  Enabled = yes
}

but when my job is executed, it doesn't take this value into account:

director-dir JobId 34009: End auto prune.
director-dir JobId 34009: No Files found to prune.
director-dir JobId 34009: Begin pruning Files.

I also tried to modify this value in my bacula-dir.conf file.

I've also tried setting a Maximum Bandwidth Per Job value = 33mb/s in the client's bacula-fd

I've also tried setting this MaximumBandwidthPerJob value in the client section of bacula-dir.conf

but I still get the same result.

Best regards Philippe Delalande

Hello Philippe,

Yes, I am quite fine. Thanks. I hope the same goes for you.

If I remember correctly I have never tried the MaximumBandwidth
directive but I know about a ticket about this directive. Somebody had
the same problem as your:

https://gitlab.bacula.org/bacula-community-edition/bacula-community/-/issues/2308

Maybe the most useful can be the last answer from Kern that to make
the transfer accurate the job needs to work for a couple of minutes.
In your case it was 13 seconds.

I hope it will be useful.

Best regards,
Marcin Haba (gani)
