Is it possible to create a storage unit only for these two backups, have
the maximum concurrent jobs set to one and then fire them in order? (or
use priority as Jeff suggested below.)  That will work if you don't have
storage unit requirements.

The only way I could see to do this would be to use an external
scheduling tool like Tivoli Workload Scheduler (Maestro).

I don't see how this would "maximize the tape useage" however.  It seems
it would be a bit inefficient overall as you'd be arbitrarily preventing
a job from kicking off when it otherwise might have.   NBU does queue
jobs for which it can't allocate resources.   

You might be better off looking at priority settings in the policies if
you want to insure one backup is given preference over another.

Hi all,

In order to maximise the tape useage, I want to be able to have it so no
matter what time Policy 1 finishes, Policy 2 will not start until Policy
1 is completed.

Is there a way to put a dependency on policies under 6.0 MP4?  

Cheers.
