Hi,
it would be really nice to have an option that pauses verify Jobs while Tape Backups are running. Especially on PBS System with spinning rust (yes, they exist, and they are probably the vast majority of PBS installations out there) verify jobs cause the tape backup rate to drop and a subsequent tape throttling. I usually always have to manually disable verify jobs, then my monthly full-take to tape takes about 48 hours, if I don't do this, it take up to 90 hours, because throttling decreases the performance a lot more then only the performance hit it would take by the reduced IO slice through concurrent disk accesses.
What do you think about this?
