I've actually wondered about this. I've been told that in the mainframe
world, they are able to make two copies of the same file at the same time,
i.e., mount two tapes, and stream the file off of disk to both tape drives.
I'm told this incurs quite a bit less than the 2x overhead you would
normally expect from making two copies.  Does anybody know of a way to get
ADSM (or even just AIX) to do that?
