Hi Pam,

yes it is. At first I thought the backup stg was cancelled but that it was
in the middle of a backing up a large object. But that was not the case. It
was moving object after object to copy stg while the restore was waiting
for that tape. After one hour backup stg continued with another primary
volume and the restore session could use it.
