Hi,
        Sorry for the subject, it's hard to summarise :)

We have a largish site with a 2-drive tape library, only backing up it's 
local data (so just one client).  We have created two jobs and split the 
filesystems across them so as to be able to run both tape drives 
simultaneously.  That works fine; the Full backups that run on the 
weekend run both jobs simultaneously

But:  We want to run differentials each night during the week, and all 
the differential data for one night would happily fit on one tape and 
run in only a few hours.  So I would like to run the jobs sequentially 
during the week.

My first thought was to override Priorities in a schedule, but that's 
not one of the available overrides (according to the documentation anyway)

Are there any other tricks I can deploy to make this happen?

Thanks,
Craig Miskell
