Thanks for the reply. So if I have a jukebox with 7 slots and say I have 4 different pools with 1 to 2 tapes for each pool you think there would be long waits between backups? Shouldn't it be only the wait of the jukebox changing the tape? Right now all session have to wait for the previous one to finish per tape drive so wouldn't that be the same either way? Right now I have 15 clients being backed up nightly to one tape drive using one pool. I am trying to get it so I can specify certain tapes for certain clients. I'm guessing the only way to do that is through pools. Is there other ways?

Possibly. Its difficult to say without knowing how much data would go to the individual devices and how fast the throughput is. Answering your question would be easier if you explained what your hardware and network environment is like and the amounts of data involved.
