I have a two stage backup, to disk first then to tape using copy jobs.  On the 
whole this works fine, but occasionally (e.g. when the tape hasn't been 
changed) a copy job is still running when the next round of disk backups start. 
 When this happens, the disk backups don't start because they are "Waiting for 
higher priority job to finish".

However, the copy job has a lower priority (17) than the disk backup (10) so 
this shouldn't be the case.

Note, that they are not competing for storage resources - the copy job is 
copying from a pool/storage dedicated to full backups on to tape; the backup 
job is writing to a pool/storage dedicated to incremental backups.

The only thing I can think is that the individual copy jobs spawned from the 
parent copy job have a higher priority than the parent.  Can anyone confirm 
that this is the case - or think of a way to find the priority of a running job?

Cheers,

Ewan
