It is possible with ADSM, it just isn't automatic.
You can start the ADSM client as many times as you want - just click the
icon.
Start a backup of your C: drive on one session, a backup of D: with the
other.

You can also start as many command line sessions as you want; and you can
install multiple instances of the scheduler service, each targeted for a
different backup.

Same with restores, you can start as many as you want.
Now it's harder to get much benefit from the trouble you take doing this, if
you only have one drive.

And with restores, it doesn't help things much to start multiple restores is
all your data is on one tape!
