In that case, use Maximum Volume Jobs = 1, and also limit the size of a volume. This way, you will end up with several individual files for each of your backups (it's a lot easier to manage 10 5GB files than 1 50GB file), and you can also be sure that you will never have two jobs in the same fi

Instead of using one big file, use one file per job. Otherwise, you will eventually run out of hard disk space, regardless of how big your hard disk is. It involves configuring a pool, setting the "Maximum Volume Jobs = 1" parameter, and configuring the pool to automatically label new volumes.
