We have a couple of shared backup drives on a few media server and I've noticed 
entries in the log where two media servers are supposedly using the same drive. 
 For example:

06/24/2004 20:16:47 printsvr printsvr  begin writing backup id 
printsvr_1088072035, copy 1, fragment 1, to media id 000209 on drive index 2
06/24/2004 20:17:01 mailsvr mailsvr  begin writing backup id 
mailsvr_1088072034, copy 1, fragment 1, to media id 000075 on drive index 2

These two media server can't be using the same shared drive simultaneously and 
at that time drive index 0 was not mentioned in the log.  One of these two log 
messages is wrong - it should have reported drive index 0.

Does anyone have any idea on how to ensure that the logs are correct or are my 
shared drives confused?

Cheers,
Roland.
