Hey folks!
I fixed this by creating a "cloned" storage-d and a cloned Device for
every client. Now it kind of works!
Just one question:
A restore is always waiting for higher priority jobs to finnish. My jobs
-even the restore jobs- have undefined priority, which means that by
default it should be 10.
What magic do I need to work so that restores and backups can coexist?
Cheers,
Christian.
