Hello All:

When there are many clients in a single policy and MPX is set so that the 
servers can all thread to several drives, what is the order in which the 
clients are backed up? Is it a matter of when the client was added to the 
policy? Is it alphabetical? Or some internal algorithm? The issue arises since 
some threads occupy all the drives and some clients will not backup till drives 
become available; this in turn may cause issues since the client needs to be 
backed up at a specific time. Is the only work around to create an individual 
policy for the client that needs to start at a specific time and set a higher 
priority?

Thanks in advance.

Charlie S.
