Hi,
I have a 1TB volume mounted on /big, it mostly contains the users mydocs.

At the moment I backup the box nightly to a 6 tape library using the 
ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES directive, which works fine. However it is getting to the 
stage where the job that does /big is taking to long.

Is there any way to automatically split the job up, so that it can make use of 
the other tape drives in the library that are idle?

So far my only thought is to split it manually by changing the backup 
selections to something like:
/
NEW_STREAM
/big/mydocs/[0-9A-Za-m]*
NEW_STREAM
/big/mydocs/[n-z]*
NEW_STREAM

However that then leaves out /big/*

Any thoughts?

Regards
