Running Multiple Backup Jobs Simultaneously - Step-by-Step Guide
KB ID: 115094
Purpose:
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to run multiple backup jobs simultaneously on the client or server side.
Steps to Run Multiple Backup Jobs Concurrently:
1. Stop BDRSuite Client/Server Services:
- Open the `services.msc` console.
- Stop the Vembu client/server services.
2. Open Configuration File:Locate and open the configuration file: `<Vembu Home/Install_path/conf/SGConfiguration.conf>` using a text editor.3. Edit ThreadCount Tag:
- In the configuration file, find the first `ThreadCount` tag next to `<module startmodule="601">`.
- Modify the value of `ThreadCount` to your desired concurrent jobs count (e.g., `ThreadCount=6`). The default value is 5.
4. Adjust ThreadCountPerHost (For v4.0.1 and above):
- In the same configuration file, locate the `ThreadCountPerHost` tag.
- By default, its value is set to 1. Change the value as needed to allow backups configured from the host (VMware\Hyper-V Servers) to run simultaneously.
5. Save and Close:
- Save the changes made to the configuration file.
- Close the text editor.
6. Start BDRSuite Client/Server Services:
- Return to the `services.msc` console.
- Start the Vembu client/server services.
Note: It is generally recommended to run fewer concurrent backups to avoid potential performance-related issues.
By following these steps, you can customize the number of concurrent backup jobs to meet your specific requirements. Adjust the `ThreadCount` and `ThreadCountPerHost` values accordingly in the configuration file.
