Hi
In the properties for the Master Storage Unit, is it set to use Max
Concurrent Drives Used For Backups set to 4 correctly? 

Although 4 drives are available, is it set for 4 to be used in the
properties?

Also, what is set for the Maximum Multiplexing per drive set at?? 

Thanks

Simon

Not extensively in my opinion , currently running :

Mater server > 
2 jobs active to tape , 
2 Q'ed ( spitting out 134's ) until either active job completes 

Four drives available on master server , only two used , max jobs set
correctly on both storage unit, global attributes and client 

Drives aren't down and tapes not stuck either , alternate drives used
however only 2 at a time and Q'ed jobs give 134's until 1 out of two jobs
complete.

Cant figure the 134's and why 2/4 drives are only being used , 

Media server > 
7 jobs to disk > running fine mount on media server.
1 duplication >  job running fine to directly attached tape 
1 duplication > mounts tape and then hangs on reading > using master
server's storage unit as mentioned above.

Cannot fatham , why only two dives being used and 134's.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards

David
