This is what the "idle device timeout" is for. Set this to a small number
of minutes so that the drive will be unloaded soon after NetWorker has
finished using it.

I think Legato could have implemented this better, you would expect
NetWorker to be clever enough to unload it from another drive when it is
required. Perhaps they will improve this in a future version.
