The NEW_STREAM is interesting and I have figured out how to backup seperate 
files to two different drives from command line..I should mention I am using 
CentOS5 as my Server, media server and client with NBU 6.5 and I strictly use 
command line to do my backups directly from the client.

>>From linux command line I can issue:
./bpbackup -p Policy_name -s User -S NEOVTS08 -h NEOVTS08 NEW_STREAM -f 
/VAULT01/folder1/file1 NEW_STREAM -f /VAULT02/folder2/file2 -L /tmp/progresslog 
-w 0

This will backup these two files to two seperate drives in my library. But I am 
having difficulty figuring out how to give it a file list instead of the 
individual files. 

for example:
./bpbackup -p Policy_name -s User -S NEOVTS08 -h NEOVTS08 NEW_STREAM -f 
/tmp/filelist1 NEW_STREAM -f /tmp/filelist2 -L /tmp/progresslog -w 0

where filelist 1 has 
/VAULT01/folder1/file1
/VAULT01/folder1/file2
/VAULT01/folder1/file3 
ect..
 

and filelist2
/VAULT02/folder2/file1
/VAULT02/folder2/file2
/VAULT02/folder2/file3 
ect..

My problem is this does not backup correctly and only uses one drive compared 
to the first example using the direct path. I am guessing my syntax is 
incorrect here using a filelist...anyone familiar with command line backups 
using NEW_STREAM?
