Joni,
Do you have an enterprise scheduler like Control-M or Autosys? This
tool (or other third party scheduler tools) will allow you to sequence
jobs based on previous jobs or resource (tape drive) utilization. A
nice feature of a third party tool, is that it simplifies integration
with other batch processing that you may have dependencies on.
Alternatively, can you specify each filesystem seperately and use the
"wait=yes" parameter?
============================================
Backup node NAS1 /vol/vol1 toc=yes wait=yes
Backup node NAS1 /vol/vol2 toc=yes wait=yes
Backup node NAS1 /vol/vol3 toc=yes wait=yes
Backup node NAS1 /vol/vol4 toc=yes wait=yes
Etc. etc.......
===========================================
Have two scripts running simultaneously backing up different filesystems

Subject: [ADSM-L] Help with script?
Hello everyone,
I have a situation with how we back up our NAS environment through NDMP
backups. We currently have 3 data movers that each have 30 + file
systems mounted on each one. Each data mover had 2 dedicated tape
drives for their backup/restores. We used to just enter the backup node
command and submit all of the backup jobs at the same time, but due to
resource constraints on our NAS control station we can no longer submit
them all at the same time and just let them queue.
What I would like to do is set up some type of script/macro that would
start running a backup of the first 2 file systems and then when one of
the backups complete continue on with the third backup job and so on and
so forth.
Has anyone ever written a script such as what I want to accomplish or
something similar? And would you be willing to show me the logic/syntax
of how you do it?
Any help with this is greatly appreciated!!!! I know that what I want
to do CAN be done, my problem is I don't have the know how to do it.
Thanks in advance!
