All my backup jobs spool to disk before going to tape. I have a small set of jobs that can take several days to complete and it locks up the use of the tape drive.
I would like to have the drive freed while the long job is spooling to disk so that the smaller jobs can run. I realize that there will be some amount of extra tape changing between pools. I have successfully run multiple jobs together when they use the same pool, but when I try to specify different pools I get the "waiting to reserve a device" message on the job. I am running an older version of bacula - 2.0.3. Am planning on upgrading soon to a later version. If this was Files, I know that I could create a second Device, but the documentation indicates that this should not be done with tapes. Thanks.
