They don't.  Previously, the OS backups and the log backups each had
their own pool on the same storage device (tape drive).  Recently, the
OS backups have used their own pool on a File device instead.  It has
made no difference.

I have one question here which should clarify a lot.  I've been unable
to find it anywhere in the documentation.  Can the Storage Daemon write
to devices using different pools at the same time?  Example:

client 1 -> job 1 -> bacula-sd -> pool 1 -> media
client 2 -> job 2 -> bacula-sd -> pool 2 -> media

If this can be done simultaneously, then I'm doing something wrong.  If
it can't, I just need to know this so I can focus on getting a 2nd
Storage Daemon running for the OS jobs to FileStorage.
