We use data spooling and this can increase the total time, but it definitely keeps the tape drive streaming (going at full speed) reducing wear-and-tear.
However, I agree that a job that is spooling to disk should not reserve a tape drive and block it from other jobs. I guess that is the cost of using data spooling. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bareos-users" group.
