If all of your drives were busy during bpVault's processes, then your mount
request for your restore would and should have queued.  When a drive was
available your restore should have be submitted.

I don't know how many drives you have, but if this is an issue, you can
configure one of your storage units to have n-1 drives.  This leaves one
drive "unconfigured" for the storage unit, but still configured for NetBackup
to use for restores.  It will be a restore only drive.

There is no way to pause vault temporarily, you must either kill it or wait for
it to complete.
