Sadly, no. The nsrstage will serialize their use of the single RO side of the AFTD. With multiple nsrstage processes trying to access the same AFTD, you will get alerts that they are waiting for the AFTD.RO device/volume.

I understand that each staging process will only use one drive at a time, but is there a way that he can get more than one staging process reading from the same AFTD?
What if he doesn't do it automatically, but kicks off several nsrstaging 
processes manually?  Is that possible?  Will they then each read some backups 
and stage them to tape?  (I haven't done much with nsrstage.)
