We have a client who wants to restore during a busy backup/cloning period and I'd like to reserve a tape drive for his use so he can get his tapes mounted in a timely fashion. I don't see a "restore-only" setting in the tape device definition, but I do see a "read only". That will help some,
but has anyone else found a way to reserve a drive for restores?

Setting one drive to read only should accomplish what you want. That's what I do here and it works out well.
