    The B2D job will start first because it does not have to wait for the tape drive. Server 4 and 6 jobs are in the queue for the tape drive first

Server 1 - 11:00pm to 11:25pm - Tape

Server 2 - 11:25pm to 11:48pm - Tape

Server 3 - 11:48pm to 12:14am - Tape

Server 4 - 12:14am to 8:08am - Tape

Server 5 - 11:55pm to 5:15am - Disk

Server 6 - 8:08am to 10:35am - Tape

Server 5 - 10:35am to currently going on - Tape

yeah its a lot easier to list it out as it happened! :)

I will reschedule accordingly (dont need ti backing up through the day). It does look like it is doing what it needs to do though. Didnt know it could do two things at once (B2D and B2T) but why couldnt it.... thanks as always!
