Queued. You mean "lost the plot"

Can we have a drum roll please....? The reason for our lovely "queued" status today is that at some point where the CASO box rolled onto it's belly and refused to play nicely with all the other devices, it managed to leave a "piece" of "media" in use in most of the Backup to Disk folders. End result - the "maximum concurrent jobs" limit has been reached.

The only resolve that seems to work is completely restarting the services (if you just restart Device and Media then the box tends to give up and never run a backup again). However, the trouble with this theory is that there are a couple of jobs running I want to finish first.

We could of course up the concurrent jobs on each device but it gets a bit tedious moving the limits up and down every day.

Really of course, it should JUST BLOODY WORK.
