OK, so both jobs are running on the FD. Concurrently. Thus, the problem, must be the SD.

NOTE: You mention DIR, but 'waiting for a volume' is an SD thing, not a DIR thing. That is, the SD is waiting for a new volume. Let's assume you are backing up to disk. Is the SD set to automatically create/label Volumes? The output from status storage would be useful here. As would the versions of Bacula you are using (SD, DIR, FD). >> It is not clear what you are doing. Let's try a simple explanation. >> >> You have an FD. You have N Bacula Directors.
