Improving the assignment of resources to NetBackup queued jobs

In certain situations, nbrb may take too long to process jobs that are waiting for drives. This delay may occur when many jobs are queued for resources and the jobs are completing faster than nbrb can re-use the released resources for new jobs.

To improve nbrb performance in this situation, see the following document:
