Hi,
I'm revisiting this old post because I've now started using always
incremental.
I followed your setup but I can't get the concurrent jobs to run.
I have FileStorageCons1 mounted and in use for the first backup of a (very
large) client and FileStorageCons 2,3,4 and 5 not open.
But I also have all other clients that are waiting for incrementals. What
can I check?
