The other option is to set up a schedule for the databases that does not
allow multiplexing. Setting a schedule's Media Multiplexing to 1 means
"no multiplexing" for that schedule. Netbackup will also not write
non-multiplexed jobs to a multiplexed tape, but it WILL write a
multiplex job to a non-multiplexed tape, marking it a multiplexed tape in
the header.
