Thanks Fengtao, and others.
Unfortunately, I think somehow the original intent of this request got lost.
The initial post was referring to the behavior whereby a second and subsequent instance of Fab will initially try to read an optical drive that was already being read by a first instance of Fab. What was asked for was the ability to have Fab NOT start reading any optical drive upon opening, and let the user select which drive each instance was to read from.
It seems that the /NOSCAN switch is to just tell Fab not to scan the media (and only in command line mode right now). In essence, what was asked for was the ability to turn off the "auto-read" feature of Fab.
So if the only way to avoid this is to "string" a bunch of command line switches together to define source, target, and all the other parameters of the backup together (ie., /MODE "FULLDISC" /SRC "D:\Source\sample.iso" /DEST "D:\Target\"), then I'd like to enhance the original feature request to state, "the ability to turn off auto-disk-read within the GUI."
