Hello,

I guess I found a decent solution and thought I post it just in case
someone else has a similar problem one day. I converted my Storages to
Virtual Autochangers with multiple Devices keeping one of them Read Only
so the Copy Job always has a free Device to read from and so I can run
the Copy Jobs parallel to Backup Jobs.

Regards,

Martin
