Should be fine.....

At least it doesn't cause NB to completely hang/freeze like it did to me
several times.

Go into Policy, then into Schedules, then open a schedule.
Check "Multiple copies" then click "configure".
In each box, select a different DSSU.

Backup jobs will write the *same* data to each DSU in parallel.
You have the option of telling it what to do if one fails (fail job, or
continue with others)

You'll take a *small* performance hit for each extra parallel job your
write (each additional storage unit)
