[Bacula-users] Is it safe to run 2 concurrent jobs on a tape drive?
Hi folks, I have an HP 1/8 autoloader lto4 drive which we use for full offline backups and was wondering wether it's safe to run 2 concurrent jobs on that device at the same time? Despooling sadly isn't possible at the moment for lack of disk space, bacula version is 5.0.3 on CentOS (compiled from source).

Uwe, if I run eight concurrent jobs on an LTO2, I'm sure you can run two on an LTO4 without any problems. -- Phil Stracchino, CDK#2 DoD#299792458 ICBM: 43.5607, -71.355 ala...@caerllewys.net ala...@metrocast.net p...@co.ordinate.org Renaissance Man, Unix ronin, Perl hacker, Free Stater It's not the years, it's the mileage. -- Beautiful is writing same markup.

I run 5GB spool files and multiple simultaneous jobs to my LTO2 autochanger. John -- Beautiful is writing same markup.
