Tape job not adding backups until all drives empty.

[vmtech123]

I noticed my tape job job will start using 6 LTO drives (as set) but not continue on to the next backup jobs until all drives have finished.
Once the 6th backup finishes, it runs the next 6 . This has increased my backup window.

I've tried modifying the order of jobs hoping if I ran the largest jobs first it would keep the drives running longer and speed things up, but didn't help.

Any idea what would cause this, or what logs I should check? I Can create a ticket if needed, but figured I could dive a bit deeper on my own first. That middle portion is such a waste of time having idle drives.

Hello,

It's difficult to say without seeing the infrastructure, job settings, and logs. I think it would be best to open a support case and let our engineers work on it. Please share the support case ID with us.

Thanks!
