Depends upon just what you mean by 'reserve'. Can you make db backups use
the same drive in a library/devc. That answer is no. You could, however,
define a 2nd library/devc and define one of the drives to it. Depending
on your server level, drive sharing may be available, otherwise you'd have
to permanently associate one of the drive to the new library. Although I
view that as a waste of good hardware.
Are you having some problems with regard to db backups?

Ben,
No. However if you write scripts to control your server you can hold back
a
tape drive when you would want to perform a tape backup...
