Greetings everyone,

I have one Linux client with four TB worth of data spread over four mount
points. This client is in its own savegroup, which has a tape pool devoted
exclusively to it. I want its backup to be limited to only one of the two
tape drives in my tape library. I have been playing around with different
settings, but every time I try it, the backup mounts two tapes even though
each drive has 16 as its target sessions value. This is with NetWorker 7.6
SP1 on a Linux box.

If anyone has any ideas on how I can do this without setting a pool target
limit of 1, please let me know.
