Is anyone using the relatively new read-only feature of Device 
resources? I had thought to use this feature to reserve an autochanger 
drive as the read drive for virtual full backups. But in a two-drive 
autochanger, making drive 1 read-only is problematic. A virtual full job 
will select the read drive before it selects the write drive.  I have 
confirmed that it will, or at least can, select drive 0 (the read/write 
drive) as the read drive for the virtual full job and then be stuck 
without a writable drive, causing the job to fail. I would have thought 
that when selecting a read drive for a virtual full or copy job that the 
selection would prefer an available read-only drive over an available 
read/write drive, but that does not seem to be the case. Any thoughts?
