Hi,

is it possible to backup and restore data in parallel when using File 
devices?

My problems is, that some of my backups take big amounts of time (3 days 
because of a slow network connection). Starting a restore in parallel 
leads to "RestoreFiles.2008-09-08_15.38.44 is waiting on Storage Files". 
My setup is to allow concurrent backups to File device which works like 
a charm during backup.

Output of status storage is:

--------------

reading/writing).

It seems as the RestoreFiles job is waiting for _writing_ instead of 
_reading_?

Did I miss anything? Thanks a lot in advance!
