Thanks for the swift reply.

The changers are both attached to the same machine.

Both max concurrent jobs is set in both bacula-sd.conf and bacula-dir.conf.

Here are my files (edited) with the max concurrent jobs definitions

Hope this helps.

Brian.

Are the changers attached to different machines?

Yes. At least that many.

Did you set max concurrent jobs in Storage section of bacula-dir.conf
or bacula-sd.conf? It is important that this is in bacula-dir.conf.
bacula-sd.conf defaults to 10 so not needed there.
