    Configure a "on demand" store unit for duplication jobs. Lets say you have 5 tape drives configured in one storage unit. To solve the issue create a new storage unit e.g "tape-duplicate" with a max drive set to two and point all SLP to use this storage unit. Then all SLP will only use two tape drive at any point in time. There is no 1:1 relation between storage unit and physical devices.
