looks like this is the cause of my problem.. still trying to solve this one:
...
Running Jobs:
Writing: Full Backup job Client1 JobId=2 Volume=""
pool="Default" device=""FileStorage" (/usr/backups)"
Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0
FDReadSeqNo=6 in_msg=6 out_msg=4 fd=6
Writing: Full Backup job Client1 JobId=3 Volume=""
pool="Default" device=""FileStorage" (/usr/backups)"
Files=0 Bytes=0 Bytes/sec=0
FDReadSeqNo=6 in_msg=6 out_msg=4 fd=8
...
Device status:
Device "FileStorage" (/usr/backups) is not open.
Device is BLOCKED waiting for media.
