Hi All,
Why is there swapping of drives while backup is in use? Let myself be clear.

Why not fixed drives are being used for the same backup? What is the concept behind it?
Now the issue that I was stuck in is -
With time the drives status was of image 3 for the same backup job.
We have configured our environment such that for some specific backup policy only these drives 1,3 & 5 should be used and for other policy drives 2,4 & 6 should be used.
Now while a backup was running I suddenly needed to run a critical backup which according to the policy will use the drives 1,3 & 5 (odd numbers).
But we can see that the drives are already being used in image 3.
So my question is -
Is there anyway to manually swap the drives between running backup (as we can see that this is being done automatically)? Because scenario that I was stuck in may occur to anyone.
Thanks.
