I have two hosts and a single 4 drive library. I've split the library, 
connecting two drives to each of the hosts. One host is the Master, the 
other a Media Server. I have two Storage Units - one associated with each 
host.

To simplify administration I want to configure a single class that backs-up 
the data structures on each of the hosts. However I want to optimise the 
class data streams so that each host sends it's data to the local tape 
drives.

I originally thought this was going to be straight forward but am unable to 
achieve this through a single class. Using a Storage Unit of 'Any Available' 
uses all tape resources but some streams backup locally while others cross 
the network.

I have resolved the problem by creating two classes (one for each Server) - 
each directing it's backup to the local Storage Unit. This adds to 
administration work which I would rather not have done.

Has any-one experienced or considered this issue?

Any-one got suggestions how the backup can be achieved in a single class?
