Summary0001612: Allow Higher Duplicates = Yes not working
DescriptionHi,


We created a job with these properties:


JobDefs {
    Name = "FullRJob"
    Type = Backup

    Level = Full

    Client = xxx
    Write Bootstrap = "/var/lib/bareos/%c.bsr"

    Accurate = No
    Messages = Standard

    # Be careful not to start double jobs (since ran every hour by default)
    Allow Duplicate Jobs = No
    Allow Higher Duplicates = Yes

    Allow Mixed Priority = True
    Priority = 10

    Pool = R-Full

    Incremental Backup Pool = R-Incremental
    Full Backup Pool = R-Full

    Run Script {
        RunsWhen = After
        RunsOnFailure = No
        FailJobOnError = No
        RunsOnClient = No
        console = ".bvfs_update jobid=%i"
    }
}


JobDefs {
    Name = "PITRJob"
    JobDefs = "FullRJob" # Use job defaults from FullRJob

    Level = Incremental
}

Then we have a job of type PITRJob , this job is using the postgreSQL PITR plugin from Bareos and is using this schedule

Schedule {
    Name = "pitr-cycle-standard"

    Run = Incremental hourly at 00:02 # First pick up all last changes
    Run = Full 1/3 at 23:04 # Create new full every 3 days
}

However this Full job is always cancelled, even when it's a "Higher Duplicate".

JobId 281517 already running. Duplicate job not allowed.


What we want is to have all last changes from the database incremental synced, and as fast as possible start a full job after that.

Say we first start the full, then the incremental, we would lose up to 1 hour of incremental data as far as I understand ...

Is there any solution for this? And why is this Higher Duplicate cancelled, it looks like bug because of this setting: "Allow Higher Duplicates = Yes"

Hello, you've missed our announcement about Mantis going to be deprecated in the benefit of github issues.

I'm not sure the parameter combination you're using will work as you want
When I'm referring to https://docs.bareos.org/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_AllowDuplicateJobs I don't see any usage of "Allow Higher Duplicates"
When I'm grepping the source code for that config parameter, beside its declaration in the config code of the director, it doesn't look like it is use somewhere else.

So finally the Allow Duplicate = no win in your case.

So look like we have dead cat parameter that can be deprecated and removed.

Hi Bruno, thanks a lot, is there any way then to accomplish what we want? Because incremental is running quite often, duplicates of the incremental must be avoided. However a full should never be missed.

Before closing did you try the other duplcate parameter like
https://docs.bareos.org/bareos-23/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_CancelLowerLevelDuplicates
https://docs.bareos.org/bareos-23/Configuration/Director.html#config-Dir_Job_CancelRunningDuplicates

I usually go for
{
  AllowDuplicateJobs = No
  CancelLowerLevelDuplicates = Yes
  CancelQueuedDuplicates = Yes
}
