Hi all, recently upgraded to NB 5.12 MP4 from 4.5 FP6...

I have a few flash backup clients, and according to the documentation in
5.1, the only way I can figure out how to set up a flash policy on a
unix client that uses multiple data streams, i.e. backing up multiple
raw partitions and sending them to multiple tape devices is under the
section  "Configuring FlashBackup in the Earlier Manner (UNIX only)."

This is fine, it works, but it says in the documentation, this is only
being supported for backwards compatibility and will go away in the
future.  So is anyone out there backing up a unix client via FlashBackup
with a 5.1 advanced client and using multiple data streams?  How did you
get this to work?  Is there a way to specify multiple cache devices?  In
the 5.1 documentation under the new method I read that you only can
define one cache device.

Again, I don't have a problem using the older version, its just the
documentation makes it sound as if this is not preferred, but it does a
poor job of specifying how to handle multiple data streams

Thanks,

Taylor
