[Veritas-bu] Restore priority

Configure your storage unit to use less than the number of
physical drives. Since restores do not use storage units,
they will be able to use the unused drives.

> The restore was started just minutes after the backup window opened. This
> means taht the queue was full of backup jobs. It also appeared that the
> restore did not take priority over the backups, and it would have taken
> hours to wait for the queue to clear. This was not acceptable and we ended
> up killing all the backup jobs so the restore could happen, and requeued all
> the backups.

> halted/suspended for the restore, just that the restore go to the top of the
> queue.
