I've got two dedicated storage nodes running Exchange that share two tape drives with the Networker server via Dynamic Drive Sharing.

Right now for efficiency I dedicate one tape drive to each node, and back up their filesystems at the same time, then later do the same for Exchange, since I have to have two client entries for each.

I'd like to actually back up one node - both filesystem and Exchange - at once and let it make use of both drives for efficiency, then I can schedule the backups of each node at different times.

Networker seems to insist that client entries "with the same name" (i.e. same actual host) cannot exist in the same group if one of the entries back up filesystem "All". I'd rather not explicitly list filesystems since I don't know when they'll change (I don't admin the actual system).

Is there another way around it? Do I have to create two groups for each node, and just schedule them at the same time? Or should I leave it the way it is?

I have to add two more storage nodes soon, so I'm looking for an efficient and uncomplicated setup (will be handing this over to the client at some point).
