Another solution could be to adapt your cloning/staging jobs
(that are reading from .RO AFD devices) to handle less SSID a time 
and not a bulk set of SSID or volume to be processed.

Doing so, your recover requests will be spooled and
you will have less time to wait to have recovery/ies performed
than waiting cloning/staging jobs to complete.

Another advantage is, if you need to recover from a just
staged SSID, the volume will be online, mounted and nearly
at right tape position.

Objet : [Networker] server too busy for restores...

Hello,
This situation has hit us a few times in the last few weeks - quite 
annoying

We will have backups happening to adv-file devices, including, possibly 
cloning from the adv-file to tape happening when we need to do a restore. 
The restore will be coming form the adv_file RO device, but we will still 
have to "wait" for the device to be come unbusy. Don't know if it is all 
the threads being taken up, or a locked read-only device.

Does anyone know why we might have to wait for a restore in either of 
these cases?
Thanks,
/ Sid /
