We only see that when you share devices.   We have a stand alone backup server, 
a small production one, that does not share its tape drives.   That machine 
does not automatically unload the tapes, and we are running 8.0 sp2 on it.  

Our other 2 production backup servers share their drives, and those machines 
automatically unload their tapes after the device timeout (10 minutes).   One 
machine is running 8.0 sp2, and the other machines 7.6.2.7.

It says 10, on the "Timers" tab of the jukebox. That's not something I 
set. I don't know if that's seconds or minutes, it doesn't say. 

So is this behavior new to v8? It didn't used to happen with 7.6.2 and 
prior.
