No no no.  You probably just made your problems WORSE.  Now only one job
can be written to a volume, which means that unless you only actually
HAVE one Job and one Client, every job is going to have to wait on the
previous client's Job finishing so that a new volume can be created.
Except that it can't, because now only one volume is allowed to exist in
the pool, which means that when time comes to run your second job, your
entire backup system will grind to a halt, because you can't put any new
jobs on the volume you just used and can't create any new volumes.


Have you actually read the documentation to see what these directives do?
