Hi,

Thx for your reply.

The 15 Tera are in one directory...so this is just one job. Is it
possible that bacula distributes these among of data on the two drives ?
like a "parallel job". For example bacula computes that the first 100
files go on a tape in drive 1, the next 100 files go in drive 2, and so
on...

Regards,
Guillaume
