Radoslaw,

Bacula keeps sending me emails “waiting to reserve a device” every 2 minutes 
which is annoying. Is there a way to turn off Bacula from sending emails only 
in this case?

Thanks,
UR.

I have three Tape drives in the Tape Library. Say for example if two of the 
tape drives are busy running two different jobs from Pool A & B.  If two more 
jobs are waiting to start from Pool C & D

First of all when designing a tape backup in Bacula you should consider 
lowering the number of defined Pools to the lowest acceptable level. This helps 
avoid resource shortage during the backup window. This is my recommendation 
based on multiple deployment experience.

since only one Tape Drive is available the job from Pool C runs and the job 
from Pool D is still waiting for the Tape Drive and complains “ waiting to 
reserve a device” through email until a Tape drive become available to run the 
job.

I can fully understand that it complains about it as it cannot reserve the 
drive and has to wait. Could you explain what is your expected behavior in this 
case?

Thanks
