I did what I said on the master and it increased my streams from 5-6 to 15 
of 28 streams.

My next question is, is the FAILOVER_MEDIA_SERVER, for instance.

Say I have a backup:

HOST=BOX1

BOX1 was backed up on mediaServA.

Say mediaServA is busy, will the
FAILOVER_MEDIA_SERVER = mediaServA mediaServB

Make any restores that were destined for the busy mediaServA go to 
mediaServB which has tape drives not in use?

Thanks,

Justin.
