Very much the same situation the drives were not built into same box at all?
Afaik, Bacula does lock the changer robot only when it needs to change tapes, scan the library etc. At other times (eg. while Bacula reads/writes tapes) some other sw should be able to control the robot too. I don't know the hw in question, but I guess it has a common library & robot for both the two drives? But that shouldn't be a problem -provided "the other software" doesn't steal a full-time control of the robot to itself. -- TiN ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
