number of Jobs that can run concurrently on a specified Device. Using this

specifically {\bf unmounted} by the Console program. This permits
Bacula to ensure that the tape drive is always available, and properly
positioned. If you set
- {\bf AlwaysOpen} to {\bf no} {\bf Bacula} will only open the drive when
