I have a question regarding the concept of parallel streaming (I think).

If we have 6 tape drives in a DLT library (using ADSM 2.1 for UNIX) and need to
backup a file that is 2GB in size, does ADSM have the ability to automatically
break that file into pieces so that all 6 tape drives will write the bits and
pieces of the file concurrently to tape?  Likewise on a restore, will ADSM
utilize all 6 drives to gather the 2GB file that may be dispersed across 6
different tapes to achieve maximum efficiency or does it just use one drive to
gather the information that may be scattered across 6 different tapes?

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
