Thanks Martin,
Yes, other backups were running at the time of this jobid 5738,
I have 100 devices to handle ~200 concurrent backup jobs. Looks like there was
shortage of free device for reading the previous full backup, although a device
was reserved for writing.
Regards
Yateen

Did you have any other backups running at the same time as jobid 5738? It
looks like it didn't find a device to read the previous backups.
