Restore jobs get first available resource assigned.

Today restore jobs must go through the same media server as the one that did the backup job (without manual intervention). It will save me many calls at night, if a restore was assigned first available media server, instead of queuing up at a 100% busy one.
fixable
If you remove tape ownership this shouldn't be a problem.

Do you mean UNRESTRICTED_MEDIA_SHARING ?
I had quite an argue with support about this issue. Apparently UNRESTIRCTED_MEDIA_SHARING does not enable restore across media server, it enables media server to share non-full tape between them.
I would be glad if you would share experiences..
odd
That's exactly what I meant. Seems like an oversight to add that option and have it work for backups but not for restores. I'll keep an eye on that the next time I kick off a restore and see where it goes.

Agree
I so agree with you. What's the idea of de-activating a media server if restores queues up. Guess the Netbackup development team cut some corners here and there.
