No, that would get you nothing, because you would still never have more
than one savestream per volume (with current NetWorker).  To get multiple
savestreams per volume, you have to list multiple paths for each volume.

What Robert was talking about was not using "All", and specifying not
the volumes but multiple paths per larger volume.  Something like

        SYS:
        USERS:\bigdir1
        USERS:\bigdir2

etc. (though that's not the correct syntax for the Savesets field).
For a box that only has two volumes, SYS: and USERS:, you would get at
most 2 *real* savestreams consecutively (forgetting NDS or the "Server
Specific Info" pseudovolume).  By specifying multiple paths on USERS:
in the example above, you can get multiple savestreams going on that
volume consecutively, if your other configuration allows it.
