Hi All,
 
Sometimes when I read things that make sense it causes me to question if it 
really works so I thought I'd throw this out there to see if anyone is doing it.
I've read that you can put up multiple journal engines on a single server and 
I'm wondering if anyone has tested it and I'm also curious if you have decided 
if it has any advantages or disadvantages. I was thinking, because NDMP has 
been squashed for a specific customer, I need to find out the best of what's 
left. Hearing statements like, "we want to move all the data curretly x number 
of servers currently access on the NAS to a single server", it makes me 
question how we're going to handle this single backup.
 
I currently can't tell you how many millions of files we're talking about nor 
can I say how much data we're talking about, but it seems to me that it would 
make sense to create multiple drives to spread it out to be able to use 
multiple journal engines to track everything, and I was hoping it might make it 
quicker. One other question is if it would be better to schedule seperate 
backup windows for those different drives to help spread things out and get it 
backed up "at least somewhat timely".
 
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank You
Geoff Gill
