OK, so both jobs are running on the FD. Concurrently.
Thus, the problem, must be the SD. Let's look below..

NOTE: You mention DIR, but 'waiting for a volume' is an SD thing, not a

That is, the SD is waiting for a new volume.
Let's assume you are backing up to disk.
Is the SD set to automatically create/label Volumes?
The output from status storage would be useful here. As would the
