The solution is to limit your groups parallelism to be the device

> I have a four drive tape library. All the media pools for the backup
groups contain 5-6 media.
> 
> I want to configure the backups to run in such a way that for one
backup group only one drive is
> used at a time. Currently if I set target sessions to 1,2 or 3, when
the groups start, it picks up
> 2 media from the pool & writes simulatneously. I am not able to start
more than 2 groups at a time.

> Please suggest me a way out.
