Limit Concurrent Jobs

[Charles_Tomlins]

Here is the situation:

13 Servers that I need to do full backups once a week on, diffs the other days of the week. Have set up a B2D folder for each server to push FULL and DIFF backups to. The morning following the B2D the images get placed on tape from a Dell PV132T. All jobs are scheduled to run at 8 pm, when the jobs run ALL jobs begin processing at the exact same time, thus killing system throughput. The question is how do I limit the number of jobs that run at any one time? I want to have only about 3-4 jobs at any one time running, and then once one is complete kick off the next one. Thoughts?

Hello,
The simple thing to do would be to schedule the jobs to run after intervals; permitting the previous set of jobs to complete. The jobs may be divided into smaller sets and run after certain time intervals.
Backup Exec cannot itself detect the completion of a job to trigger the next one, It needs to be scheduled by the user.Backup Exec can only start the job at the specified time and date.
