Hi, Thanks for the starting point as I'm using windows. Maximum Volume Jobs does not work because I cannot guarantee the number of jobs on a tape, when the schedule backup spans multiple tapes. Volume Use Duration would not expire the tape fast enough after the last backup, and if it expired before the backup is complete, then a new tape is used.
