Gah. I had forgotten that, thanks. That limitation is okay for about 80%
of our backups, but there is a second SD currently holding about 20% (and
ideally we planned it to take a greater share).
Is there any sign of development on shifting data between SDs? I know we
had a conversation on this list about it about 18 months ago and there was
some interest and even some sponsorship.

In the meantime, has anyone got any sensible workaround? I guess we could
run all backups to one SD but have it NFS mount some of its disk-based
volumes, but this would double the network traffic during a backup so I'm
not so keen on that.
Maybe we could leave backups as normal but just use an NFS mount and a
dedicated device during the COPY job so that the SD with the tape drive
also had the disks on a local device?
Thanks for any suggestions....
Gavin
