Based on my understanding, TSM does not support simultaneously write to
multiple tape, i.e. I want to write to multiple tapes during backup.  If I
want to work around this limitation, can I do the followings :

Install another instance on the TSM server.  Configure the new TSM server
to backup the same set of files.  Start the backup at once for this two TSM
servers.  So one TSM server will backup to one drive, the other will backup
the next drive.

This will accomplish backup to multiple tapes at once,

Has anyone try this ?  Is there any problem with this approach ?
