[Veritas-bu] Tape Selection

It should *not* dismount the tape, but continue to use that same tape, as
long as the three client's schedules are of the same retention level OR you
are allowing multiple rl on media.

Last time I tested this was a few years ago, so I hope it hasn't changed.

Can anyone tell me what would happen in the following
setup. If I have a Class, with "limit jobs per Class"
set to 1. And I have 3 clients being backed up within
that Class. If all 3 clients fit on one tape. Will
Netbackup mount the tape, backup the three clients,
then unmount the tape? Or will it mount the tape,
backup the first client, unmount the tape, mount the
tape again, backup the second client and so on?

If it unmounts the tape between backups, will it
choose the same tape each time, or might it select a
different tape?
